Waxy maize is highly preferred diet in developing countries due to its high amylopectin content. Enriching amylopectin in biofortified maize meets food security and fulfils the demand of rising industrial applications, especially bioethanol. The mutant waxy1 (wx1) gene is responsible for increased amylopectin in maize starch, with a wide range of food and industrial applications.

Background: Low levels of the essential amino acid lysine in maize endosperm is considered to be a major problem regarding the nutritional quality of food and feed. Increasing the lysine content of maize is important to improve the quality of food and feed nutrition. Although the genetic basis of quality protein maize (QPM) has been studied, the further exploration of the quantitative trait loci (QTL) underlying lysine content variation still needs more attention.

This study investigated the effects of a low-protein diet supplemented with high lysine, methionine, and threonine levels on production performance, antioxidant capacity, intestinal morphology, duodenum gene expression and intestinal microorganisms in yellow feather broilers under cyclic heat stress. A total of 162 yellow feather broilers that were 42 d of age were selected and randomly divided into three groups: the control group (CONT, CP 16%), heat stress group (HS, CP 16%), and heat stress with low protein and high amino acid group (HS_LP, CP 14.5%).

View Article and Find Full Text PDFGenetic variation plays a fundamental role in pathogen's adaptation to environmental stresses. Pathogens with low genetic variation tend to survive and proliferate more poorly due to their lack of genotypic/phenotypic polymorphisms in responding to fluctuating environments. Evolutionary theory hypothesizes that the adaptive disadvantage of genes with low genomic variation can be compensated for structural diversity of proteins through post-translation modification (PTM) but this theory is rarely tested experimentally and its implication to sustainable disease management is hardly discussed.
