Abstract excerpt
Starch synthesized and stored in amyloplasts serves as the major energy storage molecule in cereal endosperm. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying amyloplast development and starch synthesis, we isolated a series of floury endosperm mutants in rice (Oryza sativa). We identified the rice mutant floury shrunken endosperm1 (fse1), which exhibited obvious defects in the development of compound starch...
