DOI: 10.1007/s10681-017-2082-2
Abstract: Maize is the major staple food in southern Africa with human consumption averaging 91 kg capita−1 year−1, and normal maize is nutritionally deficient in two essential amino acids: tryptophan and lysine. Despite the development of quality… read more here.

DOI: 10.1534/genetics.117.300288
Abstract: Low levels of the essential amino acids lysine (Lys) and methionine (Met) in a maize-based diet are a major cost to feed and food. Lys deficiency is due to the abundance of Lys-poor proteins in… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/plants12020270
Abstract: The negative impacts of zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe) deficiency due to over-reliance on monotonous cereal-based diets are well-documented. Increasing micronutrient densities in maize is currently among top breeders’ priorities. Here, 77 single-cross Zn-enhanced hybrids… read more here.
