Abstract excerpt
Waxy maize (wx) is a type of spontaneous starch mutant as compared to wild type foodstuff maize (Wx). The mechanisms underlying waxy maize kernel development are intricate and diversified. Here we characterized the expression of 21 genes belonging to four families, i.e., ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase), starch synthase (SS), starch branching enzyme (SBE) and starch debranching enzyme (DBE) in the...
