Utilization of Protein from Opaque -2 Maize by Chicken and Rat

چکیده

Proewe met kuikens en rotte toon dat die netto benutting van protem (NPB) van Opaque -2 (0) mielies betekenisvol hoer is as die NPB waardes van normale (N) mielies. Altesaam sewe mielie varieteite is aan die toetse onderwerp en die drie varieteite wat die 0 geen besit, het die drie hoogste posisies van NPB waardes beklee. In die kuikenproewe is mieliemeel van heel pitte van die N varieteit met 0,013 % I-triptofaan en 0,04% l-lisien aangevul en hierdie rantsoen was nie betekenisvol swakker as twee van die 0 varieteite nie. 'n Kommersiele N tipe geelmieliemeel wat in die proef ook met bogemelde pelle van dieselfde amino sure aangevul is het ook nie betekenisvol swakker NPB waardes as twee van die 0 varieteite getoon nie, dog met verdubbeling na die aanvulling van beide amino sure het die geelmieliemeel nie betekenisvol van die beste 0 varieteit verskil nie.

Reversed-phase High-performance Liquid Chromatography and Scanning Electron Microscopy

The zein proteins of eight opaque maize mutants were examined by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) and the microstructure of their endosperms by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The opaque (0) mutants included 01, 05, 09) 010) 011) hI, Oh43JlI and V\ 64AJll. In these opaque mutant maize kernels, the proportion (%) of ex-zein, the major component of the alcohol-e...

A new opaque variant of maize by a single dominant RNA-interference-inducing transgene.

In maize, alpha-zeins, the main protein components of seed stores, are major determinants of nutritional imbalance when maize is used as the sole food source. Mutations like opaque-2 (o2) are used in breeding varieties with improved nutritional quality. However, o2 works in a recessive fashion by affecting the expression of a subset of 22-kD alpha-zeins, as well as additional endosperm gene fun...

Lysine-Ketoglutarate Reductase in Normal and Opaque-2 Maize Endosperms'

Lysine-ketoglutarate reductase catalyzes the first step of lysine catabolism in maize (Zea mays L.) endosperm. The enzyme condenses L-lysine and a-ketoglutarate into saccharopine using NADPH as cofactor. It is endosperm-specific and has a temporal pattern of activity, increasing with the onset of kernel development, reaching a peak 20 to 25 days after pollination, and thereafter decreasing as t...

Limiting amino acids in Colombian floury-2 corn for growth of young rats.

T HE inferiority of Colombian floury-2 corn to Colombian opaque-2 corn as the only energy-protein source for growing rats and swine has been reported (Maner et al., 1971). Cromwell et al. (1968) showed that floury-2 corn is superior to opaque-2 corn for growth of chicks because of the methionine deficiency of opaque-2 corn relative to the chick's methionine requirement. The pig and rat have low...

opaque-15, a maize mutation with properties of a defective opaque-2 modifier.

An opaque mutation was identified that reduces gamma-zein synthesis in maize endosperm. The mutation, opaque-15, causes a 2- to 3-fold reduction in gamma-zein mRNA and protein synthesis and reduces the proportion of the 27-kDa gamma-zein A gene transcript. Although the protein bodies in opaque-15 are similar in size and morphology compared to wild type, there are fewer of them in developing end...
