Abstract excerpt
Background/Objectives: Chemical methods for quantifying resistant starch (RS) in rice are labor-intensive, costly, and lack high repeatability, creating a bottleneck in breeding. This study aimed to develop specific, codominant molecular markers for the Wx gene to enable rapid and accurate genotype screening for RS content, thereby accelerating the development of high-RS rice varieties. Methods: Based on sequence...
