The necessity of debranching in starch biosynthesis
Although research in starch biosynthesis has been carried out since the 1940s, many issues remain unresolved. For example, the number of reactions in the pathway is still an open question. The biosynthesis of the starch granule from glucose-1-phosphate has long been considered to consist of three …

Isolation and characterization of starch, starch biosynthetic genes and protease inhibitors from Marama beab (Tylosema Esculentum)
… future in arid zone agri-ecologies of the world. Starch is a major storage component in higher plants and in marama bean it’s mostly found stored in the tuber. Starch is used in both food and non-food industries. Starch biosynthesis involves groups of committed enzymes. Aims of the present study …

Genetic, Genomic, and Breeding Approaches to Further Explore Kernel Composition Traits and Grain Yield in Maize
… control of maize kernel composition traits starch, protein, and oil concentration, and also kernel weight and grain yield. Germplasm with different genetic backgrounds and mating structures were investigated. Illinois Low Protein cycle 90 (ILP 90) was crossed and backcrossed to B73 and three …

Study of starch debranching enzymes in developing wheat kernels
Starch debranching enzymes, which specifically hydrolyse a-1,6-glucosidic bonds in glucans containing both a-1,4 and a-1,6 linkages, are classified into two types: isoamylase (EC. 3.2.1.68) and limit dextrinase (EC. 3.2.1.41). The starch debranching enzymes are primarily involved in starch …

Algae and cyanobacteria platforms for engineering biofuel production
… triggers were used to redirect carbon into lipid biosynthesis. Wild-type and starch mutants of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a well-established model green alga, were subjected to nitrogen starvation to examine carbon storage and partitioning between starch and lipid synthesis. The starch-less …

Evolution of Endosperm Starch Synthesis Pathway genes in the Context of Rice: Oryza sativa) Domestication
… of evolutionary change. The rice endosperm starch biosynthetic pathway is one of the most thoroughly characterized biosynthesis pathways in plants, and starch is a trait that has evolved in response to strong selection during rice domestication and subsequent crop improvement. In this study, …

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 …
