Discriminating post-silking environmental effects on starch composition in maize kernels
(Elsevier, 2019-05)Maize (Zea mays L.) endosperms with high amylose proportion are harder and denser than endosperms with low amylose. Environmental conditions could affect amylose/starch ratio. The purpose of this work was to prove the ... -
Environment affects starch composition and kernel hardness in temperate maize
(Wiley, 2022-03)BACKGROUND: Protein percentage and kernel weight affect the endosperm hardness of maize grains. However, changes in starch composition could also modify kernel hardness, which is often predicted through milling ratio. The ...
