Loss of starch synthase IIIa changes starch molecular structure and granule morphology in grains of hexaploid bread wheat

Abstract Starch synthase III plays a key role in starch biosynthesis and is highly expressed in developing wheat grains. To understand the contribution of SSIII to starch and grain properties, we developed wheat ssIIIa mutants in the elite cultivar Cadenza using in silico TILLING in a mutagenized po...
