Eight dull mutants that lower the amylose content of rice endosperm as well as waxy mutant and a cultivar with common grains were crossed in a diallele manner. The amylose content of F1 and F2 seeds was determined on the basis of single grain analysis. It was concluded that the low amylose content o
The endosperm starch of the wheat grain is composed of amylose and amylopectin. Genetic manipulation of the ratio of amylose to amylopectin or the amylose content could bring about improved texture and quality of wheat flour. The chromosomal locations of genes affecting amylose content were investig
Temperatures of more than 25 ~ C adversely affect the activity of soluble starch synthase (SSS), an amyloplastic enzyme, in endosperm of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Mardler). Enzyme rate was found to have a temperature optimum between 20 and 25~ This effect was apparently reversible after a shor
## Abstract For breeding rice with improved quality, apparent amylose content (AAC), rapid visco analyser (RVA) pasting viscosities and gel texture properties may be routinely measured. As a direct measurement is timeβconsuming and expensive, rapid predictive method based on nearβinfrared spectrosc
