1 A low phytic acid (lpa) maize mutant, lpa1-1, displays levels reduced by 66%. Phytic Acid inositol-3-phosphate synthase Zea mays
2 The genetic basis of the lpa1-1 mutation is not known, but previous genetic mapping has shown both the mutant phenotype and the Ins (3) P(1) synthase (MIPS) gene, which encodes the first enzyme, myo-inositol phosphate synthase, in the phytic acid biosynthetic pathway, map to the same chromosomal region in maize. Phytic Acid inositol-3-phosphate synthase Zea mays
