High-lysine corn contains increased levels of two amino acids -- lysine and tryptophane -- which are essential in the diets of nonruminants. Both of these amino acids are nutritionally limiting in normal corn. This protein alteration is controlled by a single recessive gene, Opaque-2, which was discovered in 1964. 3, record 1, English, - high%2Dlysine%20corn
