The grain maize is one of the world's most important crops because it contains significant levels of components that produce energy, including lipids, proteins, carbs, and other such components. Maize kernels may be beneficial to human health due to the large number of secondary metabolites, trace elements, vitamins, and minerals they contain. However, maize does not have a very big pool of utilisable gene resources, which limits the food's potential to be improved in terms of its nutritional profile. In this study, we evaluated 246 orthologs in the genome of maize and found that they are identical to 145 genes from other plant species that are involved in nutritional content. These genes were shown to play a role in the composition of the plant's genome. In addition to locating and mapping all 246 potential maize gene resources, we also carried out an in-depth study of the expression patterns of those genes. Due to the expression profiles of these genes and their potential involvement in the enhancement of maize's nutritional value, genetic engineering of maize through editing or ectopic expression of these genes is anticipated to increase the amounts of resistant starch, oil, vital amino acids, vitamins, iron, zinc, and anthocyanin. This is because of the genes' potential to improve maize's nutritional value. As a direct outcome of our studies, there is now a greater availability of valuable gene resources that can be used to enhance the nutritional profile of maize.
