Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.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
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.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.

Evaluation of industrial potential of novel cassava starches with low and high amylose contents in comparison with other commercial starch sources [PDF]
, 2011 The industrial starch market is undergoing major expansion, but certain specific industrial uses cannot be satisfied by native starches and, therefore, chemical or physical modification is necessary.

ZmSSRP1, transactivated by OPAQUE11, positively regulates starch biosynthesis in maize endosperm
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.Summary Starch synthesis is crucial for crop yield and quality. This study reveals an O11‐ZmSSRP1 module of kernel starch biosynthesis in maize (Zea mays). We identify STARCH SYNTHESIS REGULATING PROTEIN 1 (ZmSSRP1) positively regulates amylose and amylopectin‐dependent starch synthesis in maize endosperm.

Placenta Pathologies in Two Patients With Glycogen Storage Disease Type Ia and Preeclampsia
JIMD Reports, Volume 66, Issue 4, July 2025.ABSTRACT Little is known about pregnancies and placental changes in women with glycogen storage disease type Ia (GSD Ia). We report on two primipara with GSD Ia who both developed preeclampsia and whose newborns were small for gestational age. Both placentas showed sonomorphological and macroscopical abnormalities.

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 24, Issue 4, July 2025.ABSTRACT Packaging reduction, particularly in terms of single‐use plastic (SUP) packaging waste, as well as restrictions on specific packaging formats and regulatory requirements, are driving the demand for sustainable packaging solutions. Notably, within the category of SUP products, packaging accounts for the highest share at 40%. Therefore, advanced
