Introduction of the lgy3 allele into the high-yielding variety results in the improvement of rice grain quality. a Comparisons of grain chalkiness and endosperm transparency between the WYJ7-LGY3-dep1-1 and WYJ7-lgy3-dep1-1 plants. Scale bar: 15 mm. b Scanning electron microscopy images of the transverse sections of starch granule from the WYJ7-LGY3-dep1-1 and WYJ7-lgy3-dep1-1 plants. Scale bar: 50 µm. The endosperm of the NIL plants carrying the lgy3 allele comprised largely sharp edged, compactly arranged polygonal starch granules
