Popis: Key messageSeven novel alleles ofSBEIIband one allele ofSSIIaco-segregated with the ASV phenotype and contributed to distinct starch quality traits important for food-processing applications.AbstractSorghum is an important food crop for millions of people in Africa and Asia. Whole-genome re-sequencing of sorghum EMS mutants exhibiting an alkali spreading value (ASV) phenotype revealed candidate SNPs inSobic.004G163700andSobic.010G093400. Comparative genomics identifiedSobic.010G093400as astarch synthase IIaandSobic.004G163700as astarch branching enzyme IIb. Segregation analyses showed that mutations inSobic.010G093400orSobic.004G163700co-segregated with the ASV phenotype. Mutants inSSIIaexhibited no change in amylose content but expressed lower final viscosity and lower starch gelatinization temperature (GT) than starches from non-mutant plants. ThesbeIIbmutants exhibited significantly higher amylose levels and starch GT and lower viscosity compared to non-mutant starches andssIIamutants. Mutations inSBEIIbhad a dosage-dependent effect on amylose content. Double mutants ofsbeIIbandssIIaresembled theirsbeIIbparent in amylose content, starch thermal properties and viscosity profiles. These variants will provide opportunities to produce sorghum varieties with modified starch end-use qualities important for the beer brewing and baking industries and specialty foods for humans with diabetes.
