Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: We report here that the mutation causing fractured starch granules in the barley line "Franubet" results from a point mutation in the barley gene corresponding to the rice FLO6 gene. The "fra" mutation in barley, which was originally isolated and characterized over 30 years ago, results in fractured starch granules and an opaque phenotype. This mutation has been used in breeding programs, since it...
