| Abstract: | The granular structure and gelatinisation properties of starches from a range of pea seed mutants were studied. Genes which affect the supply of substrate during starch synthesis (rb, rug3, rug4) affected the total crystallinity and possibly increased the content of A polymorphs in the starch. Conversely, genes directly affecting the synthesis of starch polymers (r, rug5, lam) increased the content of B polymorphs, but had a minimal effect on total crystallinity. During gelatinisation, starches from the rb, rug3, rug4 and lam mutants had narrow endothermic peaks which were similar to starch from the wild-type, although all the starches had different peak temperatures and enthalpy changes. Starches from r and rug5 mutants were very different to all other starches, having a very wide transition during gelatinisation. In addition, the amylopectin in starch from these mutants had altered chain lengths for those parts of the polymer which form the ordered structures in the granule. |
