Sequence polymorphism of the waxy gene in waxy maize accessions and characterization of a new waxy allele. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 AbstractWaxy maize has many excellent characteristics in terms of its nutritional and economic value. In recent decades, the waxy maize germplasm has increased dramatically as a result of different selection methods. We collected 200 waxy maize inbred accessions from different origins to study their genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships, and

Development of a waxy gene real-time PCR assay for the quantification of sorghum waxy grain in mixed cereal products. [PDF]
BMC Biotechnol, 2015 Waxy-grain sorghum is used in most of the commercial cereal products in Korea. Worldwide, three waxy mutant alleles have been identified in the sorghum germplasm, and DNA markers for these alleles have been developed to identify the waxy genotype. However, that detection method cannot be used to determine the proportion of waxy content in samples ...

Research Progress on the Regulatory Mechanism of the <i>Waxy</i> Gene in Rice Starch Synthesis. [PDF]
Curr Issues Mol BiolStarch serves as a crucial storage substance in both cereal crops and root/tuber crops, with its composition and properties determining the quality of storage organs. The Waxy (Wx) gene, encoding a key enzyme in starch biosynthesis, plays a pivotal role in this metabolic pathway.
