However, the genetic basis underlying starch quality, particularly for gelatinization and thermodynamic properties, remains poorly understood. In this study, we evaluated 12 starch quality traits, including seven gelatinization characteristics, four thermodynamic traits, and kernel starch content (KSC) in a diverse panel of 335 maize inbred lines. Considerable phenotypic variation was observed for all traits. A total of 228 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were significantly associated with 12 starch quality traits through genome-wide association studies (GWAS). By integrating a dynamic transcriptome analysis of two maize inbred lines with contrasting starch quality, we identified 60 candidate genes. One gene, waxy1, encoding a starch synthase, was found to be associated with enthalpy of gelatinization (\u0394Hgel) and pasting temperature (Ptemp). Six variants in waxy1 contributed to natural variation in \u0394Hgel and Ptemp, and a cost-effective InDel and two PARMS-based molecular markers were developed and validated in 144 maize inbred lines, enabling efficient marker-assisted selection. Our findings provide key genes and molecular markers for high-quality maize breeding with improved starch properties.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1021\/acs.jafc.6c06137","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,2]],"date-time":"2026-09-02T03:44:39Z","timestamp":1788320679000},"page":"28026-28038","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Integrating
