Abstract excerpt
Glutinous rice accumulates amylose-free starch and is utilized for rice cakes and crackers, owing to the loss of the Waxy gene which encodes granule-bound starch synthase I (GBSSI). Starch synthase IIa (SSIIa) elongates amylopectin chains with a degree of polymerization (DP) of 6-12 to 13-24 and greatly influences starch properties. To elucidate the relationship between the branch length of amylopectin and the...
