Effects of endosperm type and storage length of whole-plant corn silage on nitrogen fraction, fermentation products, zein profile, and starch digestibility

ABSTRACT: Zeins are commercially important proteins found in corn endosperms. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of altering zein levels in corn inbred lines carrying endosperm mutations with differential allelic dosage and analyze the effects on the composition, nutritive value,...
