Abstract
The mutant floury-2 results in the production of maize endosperm proteins with an altered amino acid pattern. The lysine concentration is high, eapproximately equal to that in mutant opaque-2, and the methionine concentration is higher than in any other stock tested. Other mutants of similar phenotype!, opaque-1, floury-1, and soft-starch do not cause major changes in amino acid Pattern.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
