Functional characterization of a starch synthesis-related gene AmAGP in Amorphophallus muelleri [PDF]
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2020 has attracted tremendous interest because of its high contents of glucomannan and starch. Very few genes regulating glucomannan and starch were reported in Amorphophallus. In this study, an ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGP) gene that plays a significant role in plant starch synthesis was cloned from Amorphophallus muelleri.

Effects of Reproductive Materials on Growth, Corm Yield, and Glucomannan Content in Amorphophallus bulbifer [PDF]
Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 11, November 2025.This study compares six propagation materials for Amorphophallus bulbifer. One‐year‐old corms propagated from seeds are the optimal propagation material. ABSTRACT Amorphophallus bulbifer, known for its high glucomannan content, has extensive applications and significant economic value. However, the effects of different types of propagation materials on
