Abstract excerpt
Elucidating the genetic basis of starch pasting and gelatinization properties is crucial for enhancing the quality of maize and its utility as feed and industrial raw material. In maize, ZmSBE genes encode important starch branching enzymes in the starch biosynthesis pathway. In this study, we re-sequenced the genomic sequences of ZmSBEI, ZmSBEIIa, ZmSBEIIb, and ZmSBEIII in three lines called 335 inbred lines, 68...
