Expression profiles of genes involved in starch synthesis in non-waxy and waxy wheat

Russian Journal of Plant Physiology, 2012
Non-waxy and waxy types of wheat were used to study the expression profiles of genes involved in starch synthesis. During grain development, expression profiles and levels of AGPL and AGPS genes were similar to each other. SSI expression remained constant during the late grain development, while expression of SSII and SSIII was higher over the early to

Some like it sticky: targeting of the rice gene Waxy

Trends in Plant Science, 2003
For the first time, a gene function can be knocked out by homologous recombination in a monocot plant species. Fertile rice plants with the desired change in their genome can be obtained reproducibly. Although the absolute frequency of targeting does not exceed that of previous experiments in dicots, the use of a negative selectable marker at both ...

Differential regulation of waxy gene expression in rice endosperm

Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 1984
In order to examine the effects of different alleles on the gene expression at the waxy locus, the Wx gene product which controls the synthesis of amylose was isolated from endosperm starch of rice plants and analysed by electrophoretic techniques. The major protein bound to starch granules was absent in most of waxy strains and increased with the ...

Waxy Gene Factor and Residual Protein of Rice Starch Granules

Starch - Stärke, 1986
AbstractResidual protein of rice starch granules prepared from milled rice by protein extraction with sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate or alkaline protease treatment was related to amylose content. SDS‐polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis confirmed that the major protein in nonwaxy starch granules was the Wx gene product with subunit molecular weight

Alterations in Gene Expression Mediated by DNA Insertions in the waxy Gene of Maize

1988
Studies on the waxy (wx) locus have played a central role in maize genetics and molecular biology. The locus encodes a starch granule-bound enzyme responsible for the synthesis of amylose in the endosperm, ovule sac, and pollen grain. The waxy mutants are viable and easily distinguished.

[Molecular identification on Waxy genes in wheat using multiple-PCR].

Yi chuan = Hereditas, 2009
Multiple-PCR was conducted to establish a stable PCR system for identifying the three Wx genes in wheat. Two pairs of primers were employed to amplify Wx-A1, Wx-B1, and Wx-D1 genes of wheat, with the target sequences of 230 bp/265 bp, 854 bp, and 204 bp, respectively.

Waxy protein deficiency and chromosomal location of coding genes in common wheat

Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 1994
Deficiency of the wheat waxy (Wx) proteins (Wx-A1, Wx-B1 and Wx-D1) was studied in 1,960 cultivars derived from several countries. Gel electrophoretic analyses revealed that the null allele for the Wx-A1 protein occurred frequently in Korean, Japanese and Turkish wheats but was relatively rare in cultivars from other countries and regions. About 48% of

The Placement of Genes Using waxy-Marked Reciprocal Translocations

1994
In maize, translocations with breakpoints closely linked to endosperm marker genes have been employed in the placement of new genes to chromosome. A series of waxy-marked reciprocal translocations was developed by E. G. Anderson (1943, 1956). These translocation stocks are homozygous for the waxy (wx) gene and for a translocation having one of its ...

Characterization of waxy proteins andwaxygenes ofTriticum timopheeviiandT. zhukovskyiand implications for evolution of wheat

Genome, 2001
The granule-bound starch (GBSS I, waxy protein) in Triticum timopheevii (AtAtGG) and T. zhukovskyi (AtAtAzAzGG) and a diagnostic section of the genes encoding GBSS-I from the Wx-TtA and Wx-G loci of T. timopheevii and the Wx-TtA, Wx-G, and Wx-TzA loci of T. zhukovskyi were investigated in this study.

Production of a fully waxy line and analysis ofwaxygenes in the allohexaploid crop, Japanese barnyard millet

Plant Breeding, 2009
With 4 figures and 2 tables Abstract Foxtail millet, common millet and Japanese barnyard millet have traditionally been important food sources in East Asian countries. Although waxy types of foxtail and common millet have been identified, a waxy mutant of the allohexaploid crop Japanese barnyard millet has not yet been reported.
