| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To develop starch with a novel property, a ΔBEs/Wxa line with the reduced expression of three starch branching enzymes was developed. The appearance of trait of the mature seeds was white and opaque, and floury. Round and small starch grain was observed in the cross section of the seeds. The X-ray diffraction pattern of the ΔBEs/Wxa starch showed B type pattern. The unit chain length distribution of the starch showed that short- and long- chain fractions were greatly reduced. The apparent amylose content was up to 65% maximum, calculated from weight distribution of the unit chains. The true amylose content was up to 47.7 % maximum. Since the ΔBEs/Wxa starch was fine grain, round, and floury, it is expected to be used as an ultrafine grain powder.
