Abstract
Screening of a range of public maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines for glycinebetaine (betaine) content over two growing seasons (1987 and 1988), using fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry, has identified 19 public inbred lines which all exhibit low betaine levels (R/r-X1 was found to be strongly betaine-positive, it should be possible to map the putative recessive gene(s) determining betaine deficiency to specific chromosome(s) from monosomics resulting from crosses between W22-R/r-X1 and betaine-deficient lines.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
