โฆ Synopsis
Average chain lengths and beta-amylolysis limits have been determined for the waxy and ae/wx genotypes of mature maize starch, and for the amylopectin fractions of normal and amylose-extender starches (prepared by precipitation with concanavalin A), rabbit-liver glycogen, phytoglycogen, and waxy rice starch. All amylopectin samples had similar A:B chain ratios of > 1 and the two glycogens had ratios of < 1. This finding led to average frequencies of substitution of B chains over the whole molecule of > 2 for the amylopectins and < 2 for the glycogens. An equation for the number of tiers for a molecule with various frequencies of substitution of B chains and chain lengths has been used to determine the effect of variation in average frequency of branching and average chain length on structure.

The starches from four maize genotypes (waxy, normal, amylose-extender, and ae a&x wx) have been sampled at three stages of development, and fractionated by precipitation of the amylopectin with concanavalin A. The resulting amylose and amylopectin fractions were examined by gel chromatography befor
