The study looked at genes related to starch in rice grains to improve rice quality. They tested 53 rice varieties and found that certain genes affect starch properties differently. The Wx gene has the biggest impact, followed by Sbel and Sbe3. Different combinations of these genes lead to different starch qualities in rice. This research provides valuable information for developing high-quality rice varieties.
