Theses & Dissertations Open Access Contribution of granule bound starch synthase in kernel modification of quality protein maize Anne K. Nalukenge Quality Protein Maize (QPM) is derived from natural mutations that increase the level of lysine and tryptophan in maize grain. The rate of QPM development has been slowed down due to frequently poor kernel texture associated with opaque-2.… RUF-35553 2008 CC BY 4.0 30 Sep 2015
Working Document Series Open Access Exploiting genome synteny in breeding for Protein Quality and Waxiness in maize and sorghum G. Asea · A. BomBom · R. Edema · P. Gibson +2 more Maize and sorghum are important staple cereals in sub-Saharan Africa. Nonetheless, their utility and remunerability is compromised by a low available lysine content and digestiblitiy of both protein and starch in the endosperm. Over the de… RUF-34425 2010 CC BY 4.0 21 Aug 2015
Working Document Series Open Access Structures of starch hydrolysates by luminal amylases: What is the impact of African starch sources on type 2 diabetes management? K.M. Komeine Nantanga The major source of energy to humans is starch. The digestion of starch in monogastric animals, including humans starts in the mouth. It may continue in the stomach. Pancreatic amylase further digests starch as the food moves through the s… RUF-34153 2014 CC BY 4.0 13 Aug 2015
