Abstract:
1. A process of producing a milled product, comprising the steps of (i) obtaining mutant wheat grain comprising starch, a reduced level of starch branching enzyme IIa (SBEIIa) and a reduced level of starch branching enzyme IIb (SBEIIb) relative to wild-type wheat grain, wherein the proportion of amylose in the starch of the mutant grain is at least 30% (w/w), wherein the mutant wheat grain comprises a deletion mutation in a SBEIIa gene which extends to include a deletion in a linked SBEIIb gene, and wherein the SBEIIa gene and the SBEIIb gene are linked on an A genome, a B genome or a D genome in the wild-type wheat grain, and (ii) milling the mutant grain obtained in (i).
