Effects of Variations in Starch Synthase on Starch Properties and Eating Quality of Rice

We evaluated the effects of functional variation in three starch synthases in rice (Oryza sativa L.)−granule-bound starch synthase I (GBSSI, wx), starch synthase I (SSI, SSI), and starch synthase IIa (SSIIa, alk)−between indica cultivar Kasalath and japonica cultivar Nipponbare on starch properties...
