Reducing amylose content in wheat (<i>Triticum aestivum</i> L.) using a novel <i>Wx</i>‐<scp><i>D1</i></scp> null allele generated by chemical mutagenesis
The mutation of the Wx-D1 null gene affects the formation of amylose directly, resulting in significantly altered starch properties. This discovery offers valuable insights for enhancing wheat starch quality and contributes to the diversification of starch characteristics. It also deepens our understanding of the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying amylose synthesis, thereby supporting breeding programs. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
