Allelic Variations of the Waxy Gene and Their Associations with Indica–Japonica Differentiation and Amylose Content in Yunnan Local Rice Germplasm
Local Yunnan rice exhibits <i>Wx<sup>a</sup></i> predominance at the Waxy locus and clear indica differentiation. The observed associations between Waxy alleles, subspecies attributes, and AC provide useful references for marker-assisted breeding of premium rice and for exploiting indica-japonica heterosis.
