A NUMBER of methods are available for the separation of the unbranched (amylose) and branched (amylopectin) components of starch. Of these methods, that of T. Schoch 1 has been generally useful ...

Now, a group of scientists have shown that the mutations of specific amylopectin biosynthetic genes could further increase the RS content in the soluble starch synthase IIIa (ssIIIa) ssIIIb ...

Japonica rice varieties are usually shorter grains that contain a high percentage of a very sticky starch called amylopectin.
