Abstract: Both the scientific community and society have shown interest in improving the content of amino acids, carbohydrates and mineral nutrients in maize because it represents an important staple food in many developing countries. Earlier studies demonstrated that the treatment of seeds using ascorbic acid (AsAseed priming) enhanced soluble carbohydrates, proteins and soluble amino acids for other species. AsA seed priming in maize showed the potential for reducing abiotic stresses. The effects on grain quality have… Show more

“…Allelochemicals change enzyme functionality. Reduction of the permeability of the cell membrane, protein formation, gibberellins and indole acetic acid caused by allelochemicals leads to reduced mitotic activity and growth rate ( Alcântara et al, 2017 ).…”

“…The intake of these conventional varieties has led to undernutrition, especially in developing countries where maize serves as a staple food crop for most of the population [ 4 ]. The protein content of conventional maize is poor in quality because it contains small amounts of essential amino acids such as lysine (Lys) and threonine (Thr) [ 5 ]; this is also a significant setback in the nutritional quality of cereals [ 6 ]. The amino acids available in maize must be improved to militate against poor protein consumption in developing countries [ 5 ].…”
