Spatial distribution of starch, proteins and lipids in maize endosperm probed by scanning transmission X-ray microscopy
The main storage components of the maize endosperm are starch, proteins and lipids. Starch and proteins are heterogeneously deposited, leading to the formation of vitreous and floury regions at the periphery and at the centre of the endosperm. The vitreous/floury mass ratio is a key physical paramet...
