Waxy Starch Development

Waxy Starch Development is a specialized breeding and genetic modification approach in cereal crop science that selectively enhances starch composition by suppressing the expression of the granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS) gene, resulting in starch predominantly composed of amylopectin with minimal or no amylose content.
