Fig. 4.
Amylopectin structure of ss1ss1/SS3ass3a and SS1ss1/ss3ass3a. (A) Chain length distribution patterns of endosperm amylopectin in the mature endosperm of ss1ss1/SS3ass3a, the ss1 mutant (e7, ΔSSI), and the wild-type parent cultivar Nipponbare. (B) Chain length distribution patterns of endosperm amylopectin in the mature endosperm of SS1ss1/ss3ass3a, the ss3a mutant (e1, ΔSSIIIa), and the wild-type parent cultivar Nipponbare. (C) Differences in the chain length distribution patterns of amylopectin in the mature endosperm of ss1ss1/SS3ass3a and SS1ss1/ss3ass3a and their parent mutant lines. The inset in C shows the magnification of the pattern in the range of chains with DP 30–60. The numbers on the plots are the DP values.
