• Review article: Quality protein maize (QPM): Genetic manipulation for the nutritional fortification of maize (2009, background): “The non-zein protein f raction is balanced and rich in lysine and tryptophan (Vasal, 2000).”
• A meta-analysis of community-based studies on quality protein maize (2010, background): “The o2 mutation, however, had several undesirable secondary effects including decreased yield, increased susceptibility to field and storage pests, and changes in kernel characteristics that made o2 maize less appealing to both producers and consumers (Vasal, 2000).”
