  • Which QTLs are involved in the biosynthesis of maize kernel oil?
  • On the basis of linkage analysis using high-oil inbred lines developed from these high-oil populations, several QTLs involved in the biosynthesis of maize kernel oil have been identified 8, 9.
  • Is maize oil biosynthesis genetic?
  • Our results provide insights into the genetic basis of oil biosynthesis in maize kernels and may facilitate marker-based breeding for oil quantity and quality. Maize oil is high in energy and in polyunsaturated fatty acids, which makes maize with high oil concentration ('high-oil' maize) a popular resource for food, feed and bioenergy.
  • Do maize embryos accumulate oil?
  • To test this hypothesis, the intracellular metabolite levels were compared in maize embryos from two different maize lines, ALEXHO S K SYNTHETIC (Alex) and LH59, which accumulate 48% and 34% of oil, respectively. Comparative metabolomics highlighted the metabolites and pathways that were active in the embryos and important for oil production.
  • Why is genetic basis important for maize kernel oil?
  • A better understanding of genetic basis for maize kernel oil can help improve the oil content and quality when applied in breeding. In this study, a KUI3/SC55 recombinant inbred line (RIL) population, consisting of 180 individuals was constructed from a cross between inbred lines KUI3 and SC55.
