Posttranslational Modification of Waxy to Genetically Improve Starch Quality in Rice Grain

Posttranslational Modification of Waxy to Genetically Improve Starch Quality in Rice Grain

The <i>waxy</i> (<i>Wx</i>) gene, encoding the granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS), is responsible for amylose biosynthesis and plays a crucial role in defining eating and cooking quality. The waxy locus controls both the non-waxy and waxy rice phenotypes. Rice starch can be...
