A high-throughput method for determining the amylose content of rice. [PDF]
Rice is one of the world's most abundant food crops. The amylose content is a key factor affecting the production of high-quality rice. The commonly used method for determining the amylose content is the Iodine-Starch colorimetric method.

Effect of amylose content in corn starch on the rheological properties, 3D printability, and in vitro digestive properties [PDF]
High amylose corn starch (HACS) is a promising functional food ingredient, resisting digestion. Amylose content matters for starch gelatinization, gel formation, and 3D printing. It also links to the content of resistant starch (RS). Achieving optimal 3D

Targeted Deletion of the First Intron of the Wx b Allele via CRISPR/Cas9 Significantly Increases Grain Amylose Content in Rice [PDF]
Background The rice Waxy (Wx) gene plays a major role in seed amylose synthesis and consequently controls grain amylose content. Wx gene expression is highly regulated at the post-transcriptional level.
