Abstract excerpt
Starch characteristics determine the quality of various products of rice, e.g., eating, cooking and processing qualities. Our previous study indicated that molecular markers inside or close to starch synthesizing genes can differentiate the starch properties of 56 waxy rices. Here we report microsatellite (or simple sequence repeat, SSR) polymorphism in the Waxy (Wx) gene, soluble starch synthase I gene (SS1) and...
