In maize, zeins are the main protein components of seed stores. It is the major determinants of nutritional imbalance when utilized as the sole food source. Zeins having four subfamilies (α, β, γ, and δ). Among these, α zeins are the major prolamin subunits in maize. Opaque-2 (o2) is a natural recessive mutation that is exploited for breeding varieties. However, it possessed some adverse pleiotropic effect so, the combination ofopaque-2 allele with its genetic modifiers composed to breed QPM genotypes that having a hard kernel with a high content of lysine and tryptophan.
