Maize (Zea mays) is a cereal of great commercial importance around the world. It has been reported that maize presents polyembryony (PE), which is described as the appearance of two or more seedlings from a germinated seed. Minerals and fatty acids (FA) play important roles in the growth and development of plants and animals. The objective of this work was to determine the minerals and FA content in embryo and endosperm of 32 maize genotypes kernels with different levels of PE (high [NAP], low [NBP], and nonpolyembryonic [T]).

多胚水平不同的玉米粒的矿物质和脂肪酸含量

玉米（Zea mays）是世界范围内具有重要商业意义的谷物。据报道，玉米表现出多胚性（PE），被描述为发芽种子中出现了两个或多个幼苗。矿物质和脂肪酸（FA）在动植物的生长发育中起着重要作用。这项工作的目的是确定32种具有不同PE水平（高[NAP]，低[NBP]和非多胚[T]）的玉米基因型籽粒的胚芽和胚乳中的矿物质和FA含量。
