| Research Abstract |
In an attempt to establish the way in which the starch in rice endosperm can be used as industrial materials, mutants and transgenic lines were prepared and their libraries were constructed. Analysis of endosperm starches in these mutants and transformants established the relationship between the activities of individual enzymes, the fine structure of amylopectin, and physicochemical and functional properties of these starches. In addition, key enzymes such as starch branching enzymes and plastidial phosphorylase and their functional interactions were characterized.
