Abstract excerpt
The Waxy (Wx) gene controls amylose synthesis in rice (Oryza sativa) and its expression is regulated organ-specifically. The Wx gene is expressed in the endosperm and pollen but not in other organs. In order to know whether Wx gene regulation is the same in the endosperm and pollen, we compared expression patterns of the rice Wx gene in these two organs by immunoblot analysis. We focused on the allelic...
