Abstract excerpt
Waxy sorghum seeds, defined by reduced amylose content in starch, offer the potential for improving grain quality in food and industrial applications. While waxy endosperms arising from a nonfunctional waxy (wx) allele leading to the absence of granule-bound starch synthase enzyme have been identified in sorghum, their broader effects on seed development and grain quality remain inadequately understood. To...
