    Abstract:
    Loss of starch branching enzyme IIb (BEIIb) leads to altered starch structure and increased amylose content. The changes in starch fine structure and function during seed development were investigated as a result from differentially expressed genes between wildtype (WT) and be2b rice. The expression patterns of all starch synthesis related genes except the AGPS1 were altered in be2b. From five to 15 days after flowering (DAF), the amylose content and proportion of A chains of amylopectin increased, while those of B2, B3 chains and average chain length declined in both WT and be2b. The mutant had a C-type crystalline pattern and a higher relative crystallinity (RC) at five and 10 DAF, which was transferred to a B-type and a lower RC at 15 DAF in be2b, while the WT had A-type starch at all developmental stages. A possible model for amylose and amylopectin structure in WT and be2b was proposed.
