Abstract

The structure of endosperm amylopectin was compared between two rice varieties, Kinmaze (subspecies japonica) and IR36 (subspecies indica), as well as their waxy mutants, all grown under controlled temperature. The distinct varietal difference in chain length distribution of amylopectin was confirme...
