Intraspecific differentiation and geographical distribution of Wx alleles for low amylose content in endosperm of foxtail millet, Setaria italica (L.) Beauv.

摘要: To clarify the genetic mechanism which controls variation in amylose content among nonwaxy landraces of foxtail millet, inheritance different starch types endosperm was examined by I2-KI staining. The level granule bound protein millet also analyzed using SDS-PAGE. segregation for F2 and F3 seeds determined staining showed that there are three alleles at waxy (wx) locus. A major to granules detected but it absent most endosperm, suggesting is Wx gene product responsible synthesis endosperm. proportionally corresponded landraces. This implies two regulate quantitative levels protein. Landraces with allele low from Taiwan, Philippines, Indonesia Thailand.
