Average chain-length distributions of debranched starch. The y-axis, W(logVh) represents the weight distribution based on the relationship between elution volume and hydrodynamic radius (logVh) for pullulan standards, scaled so that the area under each curve is constant. Each line represents the average for each genotypic class: wild-type sibling control (n = 5), single ssIIIa mutants (n = 15), double ssIIIa mutants (n = 15) and triple ssIIIa mutant (n = 4).
