Abstract excerpt
Starch characteristics are of paramount importance for the eating and cooking quality of rice (Oryza sativa L.), and many genes act in concert to regulate starch biosynthesis. In this study, we investigated the seed morphology, starch structure, and genetic basis of the endosperm cavity mutant "KDS-1830C." The "KDS-1830C" mutant displayed an opaque endosperm with a central cavity, in contrast to the normal...
