The Development of Starches Possessing Elevated Amylose and Unique Thermal Properties using GEM Material Mark Campbell, Nathan Polaski, Amanda Wood, Meghana Kunkala, Derek Lahr
Objectives 1. Use GEM material to identify modifying genes that work with the amylose-extender allele (ae) to elevate starch amylose levels to >70%. 2. Backcross identified modifying genes back into other high-yielding GEM material. 3. Identify and test technologies for rapid screening of germplasm and characterization of novel starches
