AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, targets that can regulate both the nutritional quality and yield traits of maize kernels are relatively scarce, making it difficult to meet the breeding needs for synergistic improvement of crop yield and quality.
The study discovered and utilized the ZmUUP5 gene to promote its expression in maize, thereby increasing kernel area, 100-kernel weight, amino acid content, and amylose content, while inhibiting its expression to increase kernel protein content. Gene editing was performed using the CRISPR/Cas9 system.
It significantly improved the protein content of corn kernels, increased kernel area, and enhanced the content of amino acids and amylose, providing theoretical guidance and practical direction for corn breeding and promoting the cultivation of new corn varieties with high nutritional value and high yield.
