Maize kernel hardness is a key attribute for the global maize processing industry. Breeding for on-farm yield has decreased kernel hardness. However, the underlying changes in zeins and starch composition, mechanistically ...

Maize (Zea mays L.) kernel hardness is of utmost importance for dry-milling processors. Zeins, maize prolamins, are known to be key proteins affecting this trait. We investigated the response of kernel zein profiles to N ...

Postflowering heat stress causes the arrest of kernel growth, increasing kernel protein concentration and the relative abundance of γ-zeins, two biochemical traits contributing to maize (Zea mays L.) hardness. The impact ...

Special hard endosperm maize (Zea mays L.) adapted for optimum dry milling yields is produced worldwide. Argentine flint maize is internationally known, and specific values for grain vitreousness, floaters, and test weight ...

El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar el efecto de la fecha de siembra sobre a) la degradabilidad efectiva del almidón, b) las características físicas del grano y c) la relación fuente/destino del cultivo de maíz durante ...
