Abstract excerpt
Natural variations in rice starch synthase IIa (SSIIa) gene confer different enzyme activities, leading to biosynthesis of starch with altered structures. To investigate the interaction effects of SSIIa and other starch synthesis-related genes on starch structural and functional properties, indica rice genotypes with different allelic combinations of SSIIa, Waxy (Wx), and branching enzyme IIb (BEIIb) were...
