Pollen staining is a rapid and cost-effective alternative to marker-assisted selection for recessive waxy1 gene governing high amylopectin in maize
{{output}}
Waxy maize is popular for food-, feed- and industrial usage. It possesses a recessive waxy1 (wx1) gene that enhances amylopectin to ~ 95-100%, compared to ~ 70-75% in traditional maize. Marker-assisted selection (MAS) is a preferred approach to converting norm... ...
