Identification of QTLs associated with opaque2 modifiers influencing kernel opacity, kernel hardness, and tryptophan content in quality protein maize

Lysine and tryptophan, two essential amino acids, are generally deficient in normal maize but enriched in opaque2 (o2) mutants. However, these o2 mutants are linked to undesirable effects like soft endosperm and yield loss. To circumvent this, researchers introgressed o2 modifiers (Mo2s) into mutant...
