Anther culture pure lines with antisense Wx gene were generated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated co-transformation followed by anther culture in transgenic rice(Oryza sativa L.ssp.japonica).The antisense Wx transgenic pure lines were used to analyze the differences and the relationship between RVA eigenvalues among the lines with different amylose contents.77 pure lines of anther culture having antisense Wx gene were studied for the amylose content of its offspring cultivar,Wuyunjing 7.It was found that levels of amylose content were similar to the control in 19 lines(16.0%);1-5% lower than control in 50 lines,of which,within 11.0-13.9% in 40 lines;and 3.1-4.0% in 8 lines.The effect of the amylose content on RVA eigenvalue was analyzed through the RVA profile graphic comparison and test of significance for RVA eigenvalues.The analysis of RVA profiles with different amylose contents indicated that there were two kinds of RVA profiles within genetically similar cultivars.The lines with 3.1-4.0% of amylose content were distinctly different from other lines and conventional glutinous rice.The comparison of the similarity curve of RVA profile of the lines with different amylose contents showed that the lines with lower amylose content had a distinguished RVA profile with the curve increasing gradually,but not exceeding the first apex.The test of significance for eigenvalues of the RVA profile in the lines with different amylose contents indicated that there were five eigenvalues remarkably different among the lines with 3.1-4.0% of amylose content compared with other two groups.Further,there were three eigenvalues remarkably different among the lines with 11.0-13.5% of amylose content compared with control group.An optimized mathematical model,which characterizes the relationships between the amylose content and RVA eigenvalue,has been established in this study.From this model,it was clearly indicated that the parameters PeT and SBV were more related to amylose content.It was concluded that the differences in amylose content not only affected the eigenvalues of RVA but also caused different RVA profiles within genetically similar cultivars.The introduction of antisense Wx gene could lead to reduce the amylose content and lay theoretical foundation for quality improvement in rice breeding programs.
