Abstract
A maize plant has in its genome a non-mutable form of a mutant allele designated vitX-8132. The allele is located at a locus designated as glt which conditions kernels having an altered starch characteristic. Maize plants including such a mutant allele produce a starch that does not increase in viscosity on cooling, after heating.
Claims7
A maize plant comprising in its genome the gltl-1 mutant allele, wherein the gltl-1 mutant allele is derived from plants of the line deposited as ATCC No. 75122.
A maize plant comprising in its genome a gltl-1 mutant allele at the glt locus which conditions for a maize kernel, the starch from which plant does not increase in viscosity upon cooling, after being heated over 72.degree. C., wherein the gltl-1 mutant allele is derived from plants of the maize line deposited at ATCC No. 75122.
A method for producing a maize plant capable of producing a starch that does not increase in viscosity upon cooling after being heated over 72.degree. C., the method comprising crossing first and second maize plants, where both of the maize plants contain the gltl-1 mutant allele, wherein the gtlt-1 mutant allele is derived from plants of the line deposited as ATCC No. 75122.
