Suppression of starch synthase I (SSI) by RNA interference alters starch biosynthesis and amylopectin chain distribution in rice plants subjected to high temperature

Based on known cDNAs of rice starch synthase isoforms, we constructed dsRNA interference vectors for starch synthase I (SSI) to produce transgenic plants containing starch with a moderately high amylose content. We investigated the effect of SSI suppression on grain quality traits, starch biosynthes...
