  • How can a metabolic engineering strategy improve maize production?
  • Systematic metabolic engineering strategy accelerates high-oil maize breeding. Maximizing the embryo oil content of the maize kernels without sacrificing yield. Producing EPA- and DHA-rich maize for biofortification purposes. Breeding for high oil in vegetative tissues to develop maize as an energy crop.
  • 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.
  • What is the role of embryo in maize?
  • The embryo in maize has a critical role in controlling kernel nutrition components and grain yield.
  • What is the genetic basis of embryo size in maize?
  • Thus, the genetic basis of the natural variation of embryo size in maize is poorly understood , . Linkage mapping and association mapping are the two main methods for investigating the genetic architecture of complex quantitative traits.
  • Can genetic resources be used to improve oil production in maize?
  • More favorable genes and alleles with larger effects must have been present for selection to act on the more diverse populations. The identification of major loci in this study will provide the genetic resources and markers needed for additional rapid oil improvement in maize as well as other crops.
  • Can a high-oil population improve maize kernel nutrition and grain yield?
  • These consistent effect patterns for both embryo and kernel regulation indicated the potential of simultaneous improvement of maize kernel nutrition and grain yield. In the Beijing High-Oil (BHO) population, kernel oil content reached 15.5% after 17 cycles of selection, with only a slight reduction in kernel weight .
