Abstract excerpt
The role of Wx alleles in amylose biosynthesis is well-established; however, how Wx deficiency triggers hierarchical changes in starch structure and consequently affects noodle quality is still poorly understood. Here, analysis of near-isogenic lines (NILs) revealed that Wx deficiency preferentially increases the proportion of short amylopectin chains (DP 6-24) and shifts granule size distribution toward smaller...
