Effects of Post-Anthesis Irrigation on the Activity of Starch Synthesis-Related Enzymes and Wheat Grain Quality under Different Nitrogen Conditions

Plants, 2023
To develop optimal management strategies for water and nitrogen fertilizer application in winter wheat cultivation, we conducted a potted experiment to investigate the effects of different irrigation levels and nitrogen fertilizer treatments on the ...

.ALPHA.-Amylase Affects Starch Accumulation in Rice Grains

Journal of Applied Glycoscience, 2006
α-Amylase isoforms I-1 and II-4 were found in rice grains during ripening, α-amylase II-4 being the most predominant isoform. To determine their functions in ripening seeds, we generated a series of transgenic rice plants transformed with α-amylase I-1 and α-amylase II-4 cDNA under the control of Cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter.

Sulfur limitation increases duckweed starch accumulation without compromising growth [PDF]

, 2021
AbstractDuckweeds contain relatively high levels of starch and are a potential biomass feedstock for biofuel production. Here, the biomass and starch yield of duckweed under three different nutrient-limited conditions were analyzed to investigate possible ways of further increasing the efficiency of starch production.

Upregulation of an IAA-Glucosyltransferase OsIAGLU in Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Impairs Root Gravitropism by Disrupting Starch Granule Homeostasis

Plants
Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) glycosyltransferase (IAGLU) plays vital roles in modulating plant development and responses to environmental cues. Here, we elucidate the regulatory mechanism of OsIAGLU in modulating root gravitropism using OsIAGLU ...

Compatibility Evaluation and Anatomical Observation of Melon Grafted Onto Eight Cucurbitaceae Species

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Melon (Cucumis melo) is one of the top 10 fruits in the world, and its production often suffers due to soil-borne diseases. Grafting is an effective way to solve this problem.

Photosynthate accumulation in solar-powered sea slugs - starving slugs survive due to accumulated starch reserves [PDF]

Frontiers in Zoology, 2017
Solar-powered sea slugs are famed for their ability to survive starvation due to incorporated algal chloroplasts. It is well established that algal-derived carbon can be traced in numerous slug-derived compounds, showing that slugs utilize the photosynthates produced by incorporated plastids.

Identification and Characterization of an Arabidopsis thaliana Mutant lbt With High Tolerance to Boron Deficiency

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Boron (B) is an essential micronutrient of plants. In the present study, we characterized an Arabidopsis mutant lbt with significant low-boron tolerance that was identified based on our previous mapping of QTL for B efficiency in Arabidopsis.

Chlamydomonas cell cycle mutant crcdc5 over-accumulates starch and oil

Biochimie, 2020
The use of algal biomass for biofuel production requires improvements in both biomass productivity and its energy density. Green microalgae store starch and oil as two major forms of carbon reserves. Current strategies to increase the amount of carbon reserves often compromise algal growth.

Dormant Flower Buds Actively Accumulate Starch over Winter in Sweet Cherry [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Temperate woody perennials survive to low temperatures in winter entering a dormant stage. Dormancy is not just a survival strategy, since chilling accumulation is required for proper flowering and arbitrates species adaptation to different latitudes.
