Abstract excerpt
Amylose content is widely regarded as one of the decisive parameters determining rice grain quality. However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying amylose synthesis across different rice subspecies remain poorly understood. Here, we report that FLO6 (Floury Endosperm 6) undergoes phase separation to form condensates that adhere to the surface of starch granules, and these condensates are capable of recruiting...
