Abstract excerpt
The sticky rice of Assam is traditionally classified as bora (glutinous) and chokuwa (semi-glutinous) based on their stickiness after cooking. The Waxy (Wx) gene encodes for granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS) that controls the synthesis of amylose, which is a key determinant of rice end-use quality attributes. In this report, we analysed the level of variation in grain quality traits in a collection of bora and...
