Abstract
142 inbreds of maize (Zea mays L.) and their fl2 and o2 versions, have been compared for seed quality traits. On average, fl2 is superior to the normal and o2 maizes in protein and oil contents and intermediate between normal and o2 in tryptophan content and DBC value. The introduction of the two mutant alleles drastically enhances the variation of the quality traits DBC value and tryptophan content. In association with the higher protein content of the fl2 versions, this effect makes it possible to identify a group of fl2 genotypes with high protein content (14.06%) and high DBC value (65.55), tryptophan content (1.32%) and oil percentage (5.92%).
