Alterations in Gene Expression Mediated by DNA Insertions in the waxy Gene of Maize
1988Studies 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.

Differential regulation of waxy gene expression in rice endosperm
Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 1984In 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 ...

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.

An RFLP adjacent to the maize waxy gene has the structure of a transposable element
Molecular and General Genetics MGG, 1988Two maize inbred lines harbor non-mutant waxy (Wx) genes that display restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) upstream from the start of Wx transcription. Sequencing of this region in the two strains revealed a DNA insertion with the structural features of a transposable element.

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.

Waxy protein deficiency and chromosomal location of coding genes in common wheat
Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 1994Deficiency 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
1994In 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 ...
