Wx, the Ancestral Allele of Rice Waxy Gene [PDF]

Molecular Plant, 2019
In rice grains, the Waxy (Wx) gene is responsible for the synthesis of amylose, the most important determinant for eating and cooking quality. The effects of several Wx alleles on amylose content and the taste of cooked rice have been elucidated. However, the relationship between artificial selection and the evolution of various Wx alleles as well as ...

Identification and validation of mutation points associated with waxy phenotype in cassava

BMC Plant Biology, 2020
Background The granule-bound starch synthase I (GBSSI) enzyme is responsible for the synthesis of amylose, and therefore, its absence results in individuals with a waxy starch phenotype in various amylaceous crops.

The Accumulation and Biosynthesis of Anthocyanin in Black, White, and Yellow Waxy Corns (Zea mays L. sinensis kulesh) during Kernel Maturation

Foods, 2023
Waxy corn kernels with different colors have high phenolic content and good application potential in medicine and food healthcare. In our work, the content changes of phenolic and anthocyanins profiles were related to genes in the anthocyanin ...

Mapping of the Waxy Gene in Brassica napus L. via Bulked Segregant Analysis (BSA) and Whole-Genome Resequencing

Agronomy, 2023
Plant cuticular wax is the covering of the outer layer of the plant. It forms a protective barrier on the epidermis of plants and plays a vital role like a safeguard from abiotic and biotic stresses. In the present study, Brassica napus L. materials with

Transcriptome analysis identifies genes related to the waxy coating on blueberry fruit in two northern-adapted rabbiteye breeding populations

BMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background Blueberry is of high economic value. Most blueberry varieties selected for the fresh market have an appealing light blue coating or “bloom” on the fruit due to the presence of a visible heavy epicuticular wax layer. This waxy layer also serves

Assessment of the Characteristics of Waxy Rice Mutants Generated by CRISPR/Cas9

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The cooking and eating quality of rice grains is a major focus from a consumer’s perspective and is mainly determined by the apparent amylose content (AAC) of the starch. Waxy rice, a type of rice with an AAC of less than 2%, is an important goal for the
