Long-read sequencing reveals genomic structural variations that underlie creation of quality protein maize

Long-read sequencing reveals genomic structural variations that underlie creation of quality protein maize

The South African quality protein maize (QPM) cultivars have the desired high lysine content and kernel hardness due to o2 mutation and the introgression of modifiers of o2 (Mo2) QTLs, respectively. Here, the authors assemble the genome of a QPM line and identify candidate genes underlying Mo2 QTLs.
