Abstract excerpt
Rice starch biosynthesis is governed by multiple enzymes, among which soluble starch synthase IIIa (SSIIIa) and starch branching enzyme IIb (BEIIb) play critical but distinct roles in determining starch fine structure. However, their combined effects on starch fine structure and physicochemical properties are not fully understood. Herein, we generated a double mutant ss3a/be2b in the indica variety GLA4 by...
