A rapid, direct observation method to isolate mutants with defects in starch grain morphology in rice.

Plant & cell physiology - 1 May 2010

Abstract excerpt

Starch forms transparent grains, referred to as starch grains (SGs), in amyloplasts. Despite the simple glucose polymer composition of starch, SGs exhibit different morphologies depending on plant species, especially in the endosperm of the Poaceae family. This study reports a novel method for preparing thin sections of endosperm without chemical fixation or resin embedding that allowed us to visualize...
