Change in amylopection chain length distribution during germination. Mol% difference of debranched amylopectin chains at 3 different germination time points (days 2, 4 and 8) compared with ungerminated seeds (day 0) for (a) IR65, (b) IR24, (c) IR64, (d) IR36, and (e) IR36AE. Positive values indicate a decrease while negative values indicate an increase in the amount of chains compared to day 0.
