A gene-dosage population was obtained by crossing two genotypes that were duplex for the GBSS allele. Nulliplex, simplex, duplex or triplex/quadruplex plants could be identified by monitoring the segregation of red and blue microspores after staining with iodine. GBSS activity was significantly different for all groups and showed an almost linear dosage effect for the wildtype GBSS gene. A dosage effect was found for amylose content that was not linear. The amylose content was similar for both the duplex and triplex/quadruplex group. Within the simplex group, differences in amylose content were found, which might be due to a different genetic background. There was no linear correlation between GBSS activity and amylose content. A certain level of GBSS activity led to a maximum amount of amylose, and further increase in GBSS activity did not result in a further increase in amylose content. The presence of one or more wildtype GBSS allele(s), and therefore the presence of amylose in the starch granules, had a great influence on the physico-chemical properties of the starch suspensions.
