Characterization of starch accumulation in storage root of Marama (Tylosema Esculentum)
Starch is of substantial industrial significance for food and non-food uses. Plant roots and tubers such as potato and cassava are rich in starch and they are among the sources of starch for food consumption and industrial use. With climatic changes it is important to find crops that can be used as …

Regulation of growth and storage product metabolism in cultured kernels of maize
… and grain yield are functions of endosperm starch accumulation. In vitro seed culture was used to study the influence of assimilate supply on the growth and composition of maize endosperm and to determine how various metabolic events in developing endosperm are related to starch …

Total starch and amylose levels during synchronous growth of Chlorella pyrenoidosa
… nuclear division. In order to determine whether starch could serve as such a carbohydrate reserve; the total cellular starch and amylose, of a high temperature strain of Chlorella pyrenoidosa, was measured during two consecutive synchronous growth cycles in continuous light. Although the rate of …

Effects of CO₂ enrichment and potassium supply on growth and inorganic nutrition of chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflora Tzvelev)
… further increase above 1200A L L⁻¹ CO₂. Leaf starch concentration was increased by CO₂ enrichment, although there was no evidence of excessive starch accumulation. CO₂ enrichment did not have a significant effect on the leaf concentrations of sucrose, glucose, fructose or protein. Total leaf …

Effects of Glyphosate on Weed Management and Reproductive Biology of Glyphosate-Resistant Corn
… alterations and large vacuoles and lower starch accumulation associated with later glyphosate treatments that caused pollen viability reductions. Although glyphosate negatively influenced pollen viability, pollination and seed set were not influenced. Enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay …

Phosphorylation of polyglycans, especially glycogen and starch
… which is the major component of water-insoluble starch granules residing in plant plastids are chemically similar as they consist of α-1,6 branched α-1,4 glucan chains. Synthesis and degradation of transitory starch and of glycogen are accomplished by a set of enzymatic activities that to some …

In situ studies of sugar metabolism in Ricinus communis L. and Saccharum officinarum L.
… syndrome and reduces the sugar production. Starch accumulation was found in the virus-infected plants. Within the starch staining, the results indicate that starch is accumulated in bundle sheath cells and mesophyll cells of virus -infected plants, however, starch can be found only in the …

Genotypic variation in Actinidia deliciosa fruit size and carbohydrate content
… correlation between at-harvest dry matter and starch content, and soluble solid concentration and flavour when fruit are eating ripe. This suggests that carbon accumulation strongly influences the development of kiwifruit taste. The overall aim of the present study was to determine what factors …
