Starch biosynthesis: experiments on how starch granules grow in vivo

Carbohydrate Research, 2009
Four varieties of starch granules from potato, wheat, maize, and rice were fractionated into homogeneous 10-microm-sized ranges. The size with the largest amount of granules was reacted with ADP-[(14)C]Glc, washed, and peeled into 7-9 layers, using a controlled peeling process, involving 90:10 volume proportions of Me(2)SO-H(2)O at 10 degrees C.

Starch biosynthesis and modification of starch structure in transgenic plants

Macromolecular Symposia, 1997
AbstractStarch is synthesised through the ADP‐glucose pathway, involving the three enzymes ADP‐glucose pyrophosphorylase, starch synthase and starch branching enzyme. ADP‐glucose pyrophosphorylase is the key enzyme of the pathway, determining the flux of carbon into starch. It generates ADP‐glucose, which is the substrate for the starch synthases, from

Studies on the biosynthesis of starch granules

Carbohydrate Research, 1965
Starch granules have been isolated from potato tubers of various stages of maturity, and their properties investigated. Increase in maturity was accompanied by an increase in granule size and amylose-content, whilst the gelatinization-temperature decreased.

Biosynthesis of Reserve Starch

2015
Plants have developed two distinct starch biosynthetic systems composed of over 30 kinds of enzymatic reaction network in photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic cells. Higher plants have also evolved a process in which cells can accumulate huge amounts of starch as granules inside the amyloplast of the reserve organs.

Regulation of Starch Biosynthesis

2006
Transient or long-term storage of photosynthate in starch granules can be considered as the last step of eukaryotic photosynthesis. Storage of glucose into structures larger than the size of an individual bacterial cell is slowly uncovering as an exceedingly complex mechanism, which distinguishes the chloroplast from its ancestor prochloron or ...

Starch Biosynthesis. I. The Size Distributions of Amylose and Amylopectin and Their Relationships to the Biosynthesis of Starch

Starch - Stärke, 1998
Equations for the size distributions of both linear and branched polymers were applied to debranched amylopectin, linear amylose. and branched amylose polymers. The experimental size distribution of linear amylose corresponds to the broad size distribution of an A-B condensation polymer, whereas that of debranched amylopectin linear chains corresponds ...
