Starch is organized in concentric alternating semi-crystalline and amorphous layers in
granules of various sizes within the endosperm. The amount of amylose in starch normally …

This paper reviews current information regarding the (non‐gluten) proteins which are
naturally located in and on starch granules, and which are termed starch granule associated …

Key message Altered starch quality with full knockout of GBSS gene function in potato was
achieved using CRISPR-Cas9 technology, through transient transfection and regeneration …

A large collaborative effort has yielded a comprehensive study of the phylogeny and a new
subfamilial classification of the grass family (Poaceae/Gramineae). The study was …

Over 75 published genomic DNA sequences from several higher plants have been collected
and flanking regions of the leader sequences have been analysed. In a majority of the …

We have isolated a floury endosperm‐4 (flo4) rice mutant with a floury‐white endosperm but
a normal outer portion. Scanning electron microscopic analysis revealed that this abnormal …

The wx-B2 mutation results from a 128-bp transposable element-like insertion in exon 11 of
the maize Waxy gene. Surprisingly, 11 maize genes and one barley gene in the GenBank …

Interest in the use of low-copy nuclear genes for phylogenetic analyses of plants has grown
rapidly, because highly repetitive genes such as those commonly used are limited in …

All plants and green algae synthesize starch through the action of the same five classes of
elongation enzymes: the starch synthases. Arabidopsis mutants defective for the synthesis of …

The subject of this review is considered under 2 main headings:(1) regulation and
expression of genes in the develo**♂ gametophyte and (2) sperm cell biology. The first …
