Engineered Bioactive Peptides Derived from Maize Alpha-Zein for Multiple Applications
A suite of engineered peptides (NurP28, 19ZP1, 19ZP2, 19ZP3) derived from native maize alpha-zein proteins, designed and characterized through computational analysis for diverse industrial and biomedical applications.
Novel insect resistance approaches against post-harvest pests in native maize
Discovery of novel insect resistance mechanisms in native Mexican maize using integrated genomic, proteomic, and metabolomic approaches. Three previously unreported resistance mechanisms have been identified, offering ne...
Maize-based bioplastic seed coating for nutrient and bio-insecticide delivery
Novel biodegradable seed coating made from maize-derived bioplastic that protects seeds and delivers nutrients and bio-insecticides during early plant development, offering a sustainable alternative to synthetic seed tre...
Nutraceutical enhancement of corn hybrids through breeding cycles
This research investigates the impact of long-term breeding on the nutraceutical profiles of corn hybrids, focusing on hydroxycinnamic acids. The study aims to enhance corn's nutritional value by identifying breeding cyc...
