Replacement of the endogenous starch debranching enzymes ISA1 and ISA2 of Arabidopsis with the rice orthologs reveals a degree of functional conservation during starch synthesis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
This study tested the interchangeability of enzymes in starch metabolism between dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous plant species. Amylopectin--a branched glucose polymer--is the major component of starch and is responsible for its semi-crystalline ...

One of the isoamylase isoforms, CMI294C, is required for semi-amylopectin synthesis in the rhodophyte Cyanidioschyzon merolae

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Most rhodophytes synthesize semi-amylopectin as a storage polysaccharide, whereas some species in the most primitive class (Cyanidiophyceae) make glycogen.

Genetic Effects of Indica Lineage Introgression on Amylopectin Chain Length Distribution in Japonica Milled Rice

Agriculture, 2022
The fine structure of amylopectin affects rice quality; in particular, the amylopectin chain length distribution (ACLD) in milled rice differs between subspecies of Oryza sativa L.

Quantification Technologies for the Determination of Amylose/Amylopectin Ratio in Starch and Their Applications in Food Field

Shipin gongye ke-ji, 2022
Natural starch mainly consists of two forms of α-D-glucan, i.e. amylose and amylopectin. The ratio of these two components is not only related to gelatinization, retrogradation, gelation and other physicochemical properties and food functions of starch ...

Construction of Porous Starch-Based Hydrogel via Regulating the Ratio of Amylopectin/Amylose for Enhanced Water-Retention

Molecules, 2021
The performance of hydrogels prepared with traditional natural starch as raw materials is considerable; the fixed ratio of amylose/amylopectin significantly limits the improvement of hydrogel structure and performance.

Integrated functions among multiple starch synthases determine both amylopectin chain length and branch linkage location in Arabidopsis leaf starch [PDF]

, 2011
This study assessed the impact on starch metabolism in Arabidopsis leaves of simultaneously eliminating multiple soluble starch synthases (SS) from among SS1, SS2, and SS3.

Research on the Relationship between the Amylopectin Structure and the Physicochemical Properties of Starch Extracted from Glutinous Rice

Foods, 2023
Glutinous rice has very low amylose content and is a good material for determining the structure and physicochemical properties of amylopectin. We selected 29 glutinous rice varieties and determined the amylopectin structure by high-performance anion ...

Liver transplantation for type IV glycogen storage disease [PDF]

, 1991
TYPE IV glycogen storage disease is a rare autosomal recessive disorder (also called Andersen's disease1 or amylopectinosis) in which the activity of branching enzyme alpha-1, 4-glucan: alpha-1, 4-glucan 6-glucosyltransferase is deficient in the liver as
