Researchers create high-resistant starch rice by impaired amylopectin synthesis

Summary

Nutrition label

91% Informative

Resistant starch ( RS ) has shown beneficial effects on diabetes, weight management and inflammatory bowel disease.

Most rice cultivars only contain an RS level lower than 2% in cooked rice.

Mutations of specific amylopectin biosynthetic genes could further increase RS content in the soluble starch synthase IIIa (ssIIIa) ssIIIb background.
