Characterization of the maize gene sugary1, a determinant of starch composition in kernels.

The Plant cell - 1 Apr 1995

James M G, Robertson D S, Myers A M

Abstract excerpt

In maize kernels, mutations in the gene sugary1 (su1) result in (1) increased sucrose concentration; (2) decreased concentration of amylopectin, the branched component of starch; and (3) accumulation of the highly branched glucopolysaccharide phytoglycogen. To investigate further the mechanisms of storage carbohydrate synthesis in maize, part of the su1 gene locus and a cDNA copy of the su1 transcript were...
