Unique starch biosynthesis pathways in wild rice revealed by multi‐omics analyses
Summary Australian wild rice species (AWS) possess unique starch properties characterized by a slow digestibility rate. However, the genomic and transcriptomic variations of starch‐synthesis‐related genes (SSRGs) influencing starch physiochemical properties in AWS remain unclear.

TaFT‐D1 positively regulates grain weight by acting as a coactivator of TaFDL2 in wheat
Summary FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT), a multifunctional regulator in crops, modulates multiple key agronomic traits such as flowering time or heading date and plant height; however, its role in grain development regulation is unclear. Herein, through genome‐wide association studies (GWAS), we identified TaFT‐D1, which encodes a phosphatidylethanolamine ...

Environmental risk assessment of genetically modified plants - concepts and controversies [PDF]
Background and purpose: In Europe, the EU Directive 2001/18/EC lays out the main provisions of environmental risk assessment (ERA) of genetically modified (GM) organisms that are interpreted very differently by different stakeholders. The purpose of this

Summary Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important food crops. Starch is the main substance of rice endosperm and largely determines the grain quality and yield. Starch biosynthesis in endosperm is very complex, requiring a series of enzymes which are also regulated by many transcription factors (TFs). But until now, the large‐scale regulatory

A MYB61‐SWB9‐KOs module regulates grain chalkiness via gibberellin biosynthesis in rice endosperm
Summary Grain chalkiness leads to the deterioration of grain appearance quality, which affects grain processing quality and the market value of rice. Gibberellin plays a crucial role in seed germination and plant growth, but its mechanism on endosperm starch synthesis and rice grain chalkiness formation remains largely elusive.

Modified Polysaccharides in Laundry Applications as Soil Release and Anti‐Redeposition Additives
ABSTRACT Polymers play an important role within modern laundry formulations, enhancing their cleaning performance by aiding in the release of soil from textiles and helping to prevent soil resettling upon the textiles during washing. Most of these polymers are derived from non‐renewable petrochemical sources; however, a combination of factors ...

ABSTRACT Starch accumulation in plants provides carbon for nighttime use, for regrowth after periods of dormancy, and for times of stress. Both ɑ‐ and β‐amylases (AMYs and BAMs, respectively) catalyze starch hydrolysis, but their functional roles are unclear.
