Synopsis
The action and interaction of 5 genes, ae, du, su1, su2, and wx, conditioned amylose percentages in starch ranging from 0 to over 70%. Combinations of du, su2, and su2, which increased amylose content in a normal background, decreased amylose content in a homozygous ae background, and produced no amylose in a wx background. The five genes conditioned specific birefringence end‐point temperatures of endosperm starch and clear cut epistatic relationships in combination. End‐point temperatures were not related to amylose content.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
