摘要：The structure and properties of starch reserves in rice seeds are strongly affected by deficiencies in specific starch biosynthetic enzymes, which are highly expressed in storage tissues. Rice lines with unique seed starches should be utilized for food and industrial applications in the near future. We are currently developing novel rice mutant lines with distinct starch properties by introducing specific genes from different cultivars into mutant lines and by producing multiple combinations of single mutant lines. Obtaining the homozygous genotypes of the target genes is necessary during the screening process of these materials. In this study, we developed an effective, accurate screening method for identifying rice lines with novel starch composition. Specifically, we produced a novel mutant line in which we introduced genes encoding starch synthase IIa (SSIIa) and granule-bound starch synthase I (GBSSI) from indica cultivar into a starch branching enzyme IIb (BEIIb)-deficient mutant line.
