Deciphering the Role of Waxy Gene Mutations in Enhancing Rice Grain Quality. [PDF]

Foods
Amylose content (AC) stands as a pivotal determinant of rice grain quality, primarily governed by the Waxy gene (Wx). The allelic variation within this gene, particularly the presence of the Wxmp allele derived from the ancestral Wxmq allele, significantly influences AC and is prevalent among soft japonica rice varieties in southern China.

Wxlv, 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 ...

Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) Reveals an SNP Associated with Waxy Trait and Development of a Functional Marker for Predicting Waxy Maize (Zea mays L. var. ceratina)

Agronomy, 2022
Waxy maize (Zea mays L. var. ceratina) is a special type of maize characterized by a sticky texture when cooked, due to high amylopectin content in the endosperm. Waxy maize is popular in China and Southeast Asia for fresh consumption.

Antisense Waxy Genes with Highly Active Promoters Effectively Suppress Waxy Gene Expression in Transgenic Rice [PDF]

Plant and Cell Physiology, 2000
To regulate Waxy (Wx) gene expression by introducing antisense genes, we connected the 2.3 kb Wx cDNA having 450 bp of the Wx first intron in reverse orientation to rice Wx and maize alcohol dehydrogenase1 (Adh1) promoters and used these constructs to transform rice plants.

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.
