Starch granules: structure and biosynthesis [PDF]
The emphasis of this review is on starch structure and its biosynthesis. Improvements in understanding have been brought about during the last decade through the development of new physicochemical and biological techniques, leading to real scientific progress. All this literature needs to be kept inside the general literature about biopolymers, despite

Genotype‐dependent and heat‐induced grain chalkiness in rice correlates with the expression patterns of starch biosynthesis genes [PDF]
Starch biosynthesis is a complex process underlying grain chalkiness in rice in a genotype‐dependent manner. Coordinated expression of starch biosynthesis genes is important for producing translucent rice grains, while disruption in this process leads to

A review of starch biosynthesis in cereal crops and its potential breeding applications in rice (Oryza Sativa L.) [PDF]
Starch provides primary storage of carbohydrates, accounting for approximately 85% of the dry weight of cereal endosperm. Cereal seeds contribute to maximum annual starch production and provide the primary food for humans and livestock worldwide. However,
