Abstract

This publication describes the methodology used in CIMMYT's Protein Quality Laboratory during the development of high protein quality maize (maize with the opaque-2 gene) and in selection for barley and triticale lines of superior nutritional quality. Among the techniques described are: a) rapid initial screaning tests (for tryptophan in maize endosperm, for dye binding capacity...
