Waxy protein deficiency and chromosomal location of coding genes in common wheat

• Makoto Yamamori, Toshiki Nakamura, Takashi Endo, Tukasa Nagamine
• Theoretical and Applied Genetics
• 1994

Deficiency of the wheat waxy (Wx) proteins (Wx-A1, Wx-B1 and Wx-D1) was studied in 1,960 cultivars derived from several countries. Gel electrophoretic analyses revealed that the null allele for the… (More)

Genetic elimination of a starch granule protein, SGP-1, of wheat generates an altered starch with apparent high amylose

• Makoto Yamamori, Shin-ichi Fujita, Kazuhiro Hayakawa, Junko Matsuki, Tsutomu Yasui
• Theoretical and Applied Genetics
• 2000

A starch granule protein, SGP-1, is a starch synthase bound to starch granules in wheat endosperm. A wheat lacking SGP-1 was produced by crossing three variants each deficient in one of three SGP-1… (More)

Production of waxy (amylose-free) wheats

• Toshiki Nakamura, Makoto Yamamori, Hisashi Hirano, S. Hidaka, Tukasa Nagamine
• Molecular and General Genetics MGG
• 1995

The Waxy (Wx) protein has been identified as granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS; EC 24.1.21), which is involved in amylose synthesis in plants. Although common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) has three… (More)

Differential effects of Wx-A1, -B1 and -D1 protein deficiencies on apparent amylose content and starch pasting properties in common wheat

• Makoto Yamamori, Nguyen Thi Thu Quynh
• Theoretical and Applied Genetics
• 2000

Waxy (Wx) protein is a granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS) responsible for amylose production in cereal endosperm. Eight isolines of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) having different combinations of… (More)

Variation of starch granule proteins and chromosome mapping of their coding genes in common wheat

• Makoto Yamamori, Takashi Endo
• Theoretical and Applied Genetics
• 1996

Starch granule proteins (SGPs) of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were analyzed by two electrophoretic techniques: sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and… (More)

Identification of three Wx proteins in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

• Toyohiko Nakamura, Makoto Yamamori, Hiroyuki Hirano, S. Hidaka
• Biochemical Genetics
• 1993

Nullisomic analysis of waxy (Wx) protein of hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cv. “Chinese Spring” using two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed that threeWx loci,Wx-A1,… (More)

Molecular characterization of waxy mutations in wheat

• Patricia L Vrinten, Toshiki Nakamura, Makoto Yamamori
• Molecular and General Genetics MGG
• 1999

To date, few mutations in wheat have been characterized at the molecular level. In this study, the mutations in the three waxy alleles in waxy wheat (Wx-A1b,Wx-B1b and Wx-D1b) were characterized, and… (More)

Molecular characterization of a new waxy allele with partial expression in spelt wheat

• Carlos E Guzmán, Le. Caballero, Makoto Yamamori, Juan B Alvarez
• Planta
• 2011

Starch composition which is dependent on the waxy protein, the enzyme responsible for amylose synthesis in the grain, is an important aspect of the wheat quality. In this report, we describe the… (More)

Amylose content and starch properties generated by five variant Wx alleles for granule-bound starch synthase in common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

• Makoto Yamamori
• Euphytica
• 2008

In common and durum wheats (Triticum aestivum L. and T. durum Desf.), variant waxy (Wx) alleles have been reported for three Wx proteins (Wx-A1, -B1 and -D1), responsible for amylose synthesis in… (More)

Variations in the content of starch-granule bound protein among several Japanese cultivars of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

• Makoto Yamamori, Toshiki Nakamura, Akio Kuroda
• Euphytica
• 2004

The starch-granule bound proteins of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and six related species were examined by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. They showed almost the same molecular weight,… (More)
