Abstract: The Waxy (Wx) gene responsible for amylose synthesis is an old but widely used target in quality improvements of starchy crops. New genome editing strategies were recently reported to create novel and beneficial Wx alleles with a fine-tuned amylose content. Integration of the old gene and new strategy promises great opportunity in future high-quality breeding.
