Starch structural mutants showing abnormal endosperm characteristics have been used for investigating the effects of the mutation on structure and physicochemical properties of starches. Inbred lines of barley cultivars 'Shikoku Hadaka 97' and 'Glacier AC38' were used to investigate the impact of amo1 and waxy genes on starch properties. The amo1 type starch had high apparent amylose content and low starch content. The amo1+waxy type starch contained very little amylose. The content of long chains of amylopectin as detected with high-performance size-exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) was decreased, and that of amylopectin chains with the degree of polymerization (DP) of 12-36 was increased in amo1 and amo1+waxy type starches. The amo1 and amo1+waxy type starches exhibited high gelatinization temperatures and low gelatinization enthalpies.
