Abstract excerpt
Amylopectin is the principal component of starch. The amylose extender (ae) gene encodes the starch-branching enzyme IIb, which is critical in determining the fine structure of endosperm starch. To determine the relationship between the fine structure of amylopectin and its physical properties, rice mutant lines defective in the ae function with altered fine structure of amylopectin and in combination with the...
