Starch, as a main energy storage substance, plays an important role in plant growth and human life. Despite the fact that several enzymes and regulators involved in starch biosynthesis have been identified, the regulating mechanism of starch synthesis is still unclear. In this study, we isolated a rice floury endosperm mutant <i>M14</i> from a mutant pool induced by <sup>60</sup>Co. Both total starch content and amylose content in <i>M14</i> seeds significantly decreased, and starch thermal and ...[more]
