Rice Mutants Lacking Starch Synthase I or Branching Enzyme IIb Activity Altered Starch Biosynthetic Protein Complexes

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Amylopectin, the major component of starch, is synthesized by synergistic activity of multiple isozymes of starch synthases (SSs) and branching enzymes (BEs). The frequency and length of amylopectin branches determine the functionality of starch.

Moderate Regulation of SBEIIb Gene Expression by Editing Cis‐Regulatory Elements Enhances the Resistant Starch Content in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As the staple food of over half the world's population, rice with a high resistant starch (RS) content may be beneficial in the dietary prevention of diabetes and hyperlipidemia. Mutating key enzymes in starch metabolism to increase the RS content has been successful in other crops.

Amylopectin structure and crystallinity explains variation in digestion kinetics of starches across botanic sources in an in vitro pig model

Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2018
Background Starch is the main source of energy in commonly used pig diets. Besides effects related to the extent of starch digestion, also several effects related to variation in digestion rate have recently been demonstrated in non-ruminants.

Characterization of a partially purified carom (Trachyspermum ammi) extract and its influence on starch functionality and digestibility : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Food Technology (MFoodTech) at Massey University (Manawatu Campus), New Zealand [PDF]

, 2016
The interactions between starches and the components in spices and herbs have been poorly studied so far. This study investigated the preliminary effects of thirty-six different spices and herbs on pasting properties of rice starch.

Genetic Determinants and Breeding Strategies for Rice Cooking and Eating Quality: A Comprehensive Review

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rice cooking and eating quality (CEQ), a core agronomic trait tied to consumer preference and market value, is regulated by endosperm starch, protein, and lipid metabolism; this review synthesizes advances in its molecular mechanisms, focusing on genetic determinants and regulatory networks of storage substances.

Effects of different Wx alleles on amylopectin molecular structure and enzymatic hydrolysis properties of rice starch

International Journal of Food Properties, 2018
Allelic variation at the Wx locus plays a vital role in regulating apparent amylose content (AAC) as well as other important starch properties in rice grain.

A novel superior factor widely controlling the rice grain quality [PDF]

, 2009
Synthesis of storage starch and protein accumulation is the main action of endosperm organogenesis in term of the economic importance of rice. This event is strongly disturbed by abiotic stresses such as high temperature; thus, the upcoming global ...

Single Cell Multiomics of Hooked Potato Stolons Reveals Parallels to Shoot Apical Meristems in Arabidopsis

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Solanum tuberosum L. (potato) is a key food crop, with its tubers serving as an important food source worldwide. Tuber development is a tightly regulated process involving the transition of a hooked stolon (a modified stem) to a tuber following the perception of mobile signals within the stolon tip. While genes like FLOWERING LOCUS T homologue
