Fig. 3. Difference in branch structure of amylopectin compared with Nipponbare having S-type amylopectin.
Chain-length distribution pattern of mature seeds was analyzed by capillary electrophoresis and subtracted from that of Nipponbare. The Y-axis is molar %, and the X-axis is degree of polymerization (DP). Note that BP011, BP005, Labelle, Beniroman, BP028, BP003, and IR36 exhibit branch patterns of L-type amylopectin.
