Exploring plant tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses [PDF]
, 2007 Plants are exposed to many stress factors, such as drought, high salinity or pathogens, which reduce the yield of the cultivated plants or affect the quality of the harvested products. Arabidopsis thaliana was used as a model plant to study the responses

A starch edible surface coating delays banana fruit ripening [PDF]
, 2019 A rice starch edible coating blended with sucrose esters was developed for controlling the postharvest physiological activity of Cavendish banana to extend postharvest quality during ripening at 20 ± 2 °C.

Starch Biosynthesis in Rice Endosperm [PDF]
AGri-Bioscience Monographs, 2014 Starches are the most important form of carbohydrates for most organisms on earth. However, the starch structure and biosynthesis mechanisms have not been completely resolved. At least four classes of enzymes catalyze the reactions of starch biosynthesis in plants: starch synthase (SS) elongates α-glucan chains of starch, ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Yeast sugar transporters have highly evolved for preferential glucose transport, a significant roadblock for utilizing non‐glucose sugars in renewable feedstocks such as lignocellulosic biomass. To enable simultaneous transport of multiple sugars, native hexose transporters were replaced by SWEET7p from Arabidopsis thaliana in engineered ...

A molecular timetable for apical bud formation and dormancy induction in poplar [PDF]
, 2007 The growth of perennial plants in the temperate zone alternates with periods of dormancy that are typically initiated during bud development in autumn. In a systems biology approach to unravel the underlying molecular program of apical bud development in

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.

Starch biosynthesis in developing seeds [PDF]
Seed Science Research, 2010 AbstractStarch is globally important as a source of food and, in addition, has a wide range of industrial applications. Much of this agriculturally produced starch is synthesized in developing seeds, where its biological function is to provide energy for seedling establishment. Storage starch in developing seeds is synthesized in heterotrophic plastids
