High Lysine Corn Could Ease Global Protein Shortage
The story explains that corn is energy rich but low in lysine, a key amino acid. Purdue researchers identified two genes, Opaque 2 and Fleury 2, that raise lysine content in corn, enabling better protein for both ruminant and nonruminant animals. If widely adopted, these high lysine corns may reduce the need for extra protein supplements and help tackle malnutrition in poorer regions.
