Abstract
Soluble starch branching enzymes and starch synthases from maize kernels of differing dosage of the ae locus were purified by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. A near-linear relationship between increasing dosage of the dominate amylose-extender allele (Ae) and branching enzyme IIb activity was found. In contrast, levels and properties of branching enzymes I and IIa, as well as the citrate-stimulated and primer-requiring starch synthases, remained unchanged. The near-linear increase in branching enzyme IIb activity with increasing doses of the Ae allele is consistent with the hypothesis that ae is the structural gene coding for branching enzyme IIb.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
