Professor Bao Jinsong's team from the College of Agriculture has made new progress in the study of the formation mechanism of starch with high resistance in rice

Recently, the team of Professor Bao Jinsong of the College of Agriculture has published 3 research papers in journals such as the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, Carbohydrate Polymers, and the International Journal of Molecular Sciences.

Rice is one of the most important food crops in

The BEIIb gene is an important gene that affects the content of resistant starch

Figure 1.

Studies on the fine structure of starch during endosperm development during the filling stage of indica be2b mutant found that all stages of be2b endosperm development had higher amylose content and more long chains of amylose than wild type (WT), which could form higher resistant starch content

Fig.

During starch biosynthesis, starch synthesis-related enzymes function through protein interaction to form a multi-enzyme complex

The research results were completed in cooperation with Jiangxi Normal University and Guangxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and were funded
