TL;DR: It could be concluded that although AAC was the major factor affecting the physicochemical properties of rice starch, the retrogradation property of Rice starch was mainly determined by the degree of crystallinity and GT.

TL;DR: This study identified a defective soluble starch synthase gene (SSIIIa) responsible for RS production and showed that RS production is dependent on the high expression of the Waxya (Wxa) allele, which is prevalent in indica varieties.

TL;DR: In this article, the molecular structure and physical properties of waxy maize starch were characterized and the extent of changes induced by microwave treatment for different times revealed that the major degradation occurred in internal chain (amorphous region) at the first stage (microwave treatment for 5min), the external chain (crystalline region) mostly destroyed at the second stage (mixture treatment for above 10min).

TL;DR: Eight rice varieties with wide diversity in apparent amylose content were selected and planted in the early season and late season of Hangzhou and in the winter season of Hainan for two consecutive years to study the genotype x environment effects on the starch properties of the grain.

TL;DR: In this article, the physicochemical and functional properties of starches isolated from fifteen grain amaranth cultivars (Amaranthus spp.) produced in China were analysed.
