This study analyzed the molecular structure of developing wheat endosperm starch at different stages after anthesis (DAA) using chain length distribution analysis by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and fluorophore-assisted carbohydrate electrophoresis. Our results revealed periodic changes in the content of both amylose and amylopectin fractions. Specifically, the content of amylose chains with a degree of polymerization (DP) > 100 significantly decreased from 5 to 10 DAA (28% to 21%) and from 15 to 20 DAA (29% to 26%), but increased between 10 and 15 DAA (21% to 29%) and 20 to 25 DAA (30.0% to 33%). Conversely, the content of short amylopectin chains with DP ≤ 32 showed the opposite trend. Interestingly, mRNA expression levels of key starch biosynthesis genes did not exhibit periodic changes. These findings contribute to our understanding of starch biosynthesis and provide important insights for the development of starch-based products.
