主　　题：GBSS PCR Molecular marker for screening rice cultivars with intermediate amylose content in indica AC 

摘      要：The waxy (Wx) gene of rice encodes the granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS), which was required in the synthesis of amylose in endosperm. The amylose content (AC) of rice endosperm played an important role in grain yield, palatability, and processing quality. Our previous researches showed that endosperm AC and GBSS contents were correlated with the ability of excising intron 1 from the leader sequence of the Wx transcript. Cultivars with high endosperm
