Identification and molecular characterization of mutant line deficiency in three waxy proteins of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Abstract Starch is the main component of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grain and a key factor in determining wheat processing quality. The Wx gene is the gene responsible for amylose synthesis. An ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) mutagenized population was generated using common wheat cv. Gao 8901, a pop...
