General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function construction of double mutants defective in isoforms SSI and SSIIIa. In the F2 generation, two opaque seed types were found to have either the ss1ss1/SS3ass3a or the SS1ss1/ss3ass3a genotype. The endosperm of the two types of opaque seeds displays lower starch synthase activity and contains the unique starch with modified fine structure, round-shaped starch granules, high amylose content, and specific physicochemical properties. The seed weight is about 90% of that of the wild type. The amount of granule-bound starch synthase I and the activity of ADP-glucose diphosphorylase are higher than in the wild type and parent mutant lines. The double-recessive homozygous mutant prepared from both ss1 and ss3a null mutants is considered sterile, while the mutant produced by the leaky ss1 mutant with the ss3a null mutant is fertile Oryza sativa
