Applications of high-amylose starch….. • Gum candies • Adhesives • Biodegradable plastics • Food coatings
Resistant Starch- a nutraceutical Normal starch Resistant starch • Cold potatoes • Green bananas • Novel industrial synthetic sources • High amylose corn
Resistant Starch- a nutraceutical Normal starch Resistant starch • Cold potatoes • Green bananas • Novel industrial synthetic sources • High amylose corn
Resistant starch feeds bifidobacterium in large intestine Butyrate is good for us!!!!! -decreases colon cancer cell formation -decreases cholesterol -lowers blood pressure -weight control
How to Develop Amylomaize VII Class Hybrids from Scratch: First step – Find ‘modifier genes’
Plant introductions GEM breeding crosses Visually selected ae types kernels Screened many ae-type F2 in the lab
GUAT209:S13//OH43ae/H99ae GEMS-0067 is now freely available!!
Next……Hybrid Development From GEMS-0067 both SS and NSS parents must be made
SS inbreds (S1) NSS S1 inbreds (S1)
Yield trial – 2007 • 83 GEM (SS) x GEM(NSS) entries • 2 proprietary hybrids obtained from a company whose name must not be spoken
Five entries were found on IA and MO list of top 15 entries by yield.
Studies on the inheritance and gene action of high amylose modifier genes High amylose modifiers often treated multiple genes that influence a quantitative trait. V. Fergason, 1994 In: Specialty Corns’
Generation Means Analysis • A triploid model proposed by Bogyo et al (1988) is being employed • GEMS-0067, H99ae and the F1 were selfed and intermated to produce 9 distinct generations.
