主 题:Oryza sativa Waxy eating and cooking quality allelic variation artificial selection
摘 要:In rice grains,the Waxy (Wx) gene is responsible for the synthesis of amylose,the most important determinant for eating and cooking *** effects of several Wx alleles on amylose content and the taste of cooked rice have been ***,the relationship between artificial selection and the evolution of various Wx alleles as well as their distribution remain *** we report the identification of an ancestral allele,Wx^lv,which dramatically affects the mouthfeel of rice grains by modulating the size of amylose *** demonstrated that WF originated directly from wild rice,and the three major Wx alleles in cultivated rice (Wx^b,Wx^a,and Wx^in) differentiated after the substitution of one base pair at the functional *** data indicate that the Wx^lv allele played an important role in artificial selection and *** findings also shed light on the evolution of various Wx alleles,which have greatly contributed to improving the eating and cooking quality of rice.
