e3“A breeding strategy to combine deletions and SNPs generated wheat genotypes with altered expression levels of SBEIIa and SBEIIb, elevating the amylose content to an unprecedented ~85%, with a marked concomitant increase in RS content”
Title

Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation The genes encoding SBEIIa and SBEIIb in wheat lie in close proximity, 0.5 cM apart on chromosome 2B.
- Observation A series of deletion and SNP loss-of-function alleles in SBEIIa, SBEIIb or both was isolated from two wheat populations.
- Intervention effect A breeding strategy combining deletions and SNPs generated wheat genotypes with altered SBEIIa and SBEIIb expression and amylose content raised to about 85%.
- Observation Biochemical assays confirmed complete absence in the grain of SBEIIa expression from all three genomes together with absence of SBEIIb from one genome.
