We have isolated a starch mutant that was deficient in starch-branching enzyme I (BEI) from
the endosperm mutant stocks of rice (Oryza sativa) induced by the treatment of fertilized egg …

The present investigations have been performed to characterize the structure of amylopectin
in endosperm of rice plants cultivated in Asian countries, and to determine the relationship …
