| Abstract: | A pair of hybrids were produced by alternative crossbreeding of waxy maize with amylo-waxy maize which had double recessive genes, amylose extender (ae) and waxy (wx). Investigation of the starches proved that they did not coincide with waxy starches. Hidden amylose extender genes also participated in the starch produced in the endosperm of hybrid maize. Amylo-waxy starch looks promising as a new material of food industry. |
