Functional and structural characterization of plastidic starch phosphorylase during barley endosperm development. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The production of starch is essential for human nutrition and represents a major metabolic flux in the biosphere. The biosynthesis of starch in storage organs like barley endosperm operates via two main pathways using different substrates: starch ...

Biosynthesis of Starch in Chloroplasts [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1967 The enzymic synthesis of ADP-glucose and UDP-glucose by chloroplastic pyrophosphorylase of bean and rice leaves has been demonstrated by paper chromatographic techniques. In both tissues, the activity of UDP-glucose-pyrophosphorylase was much higher than ADP-glucose-pyrophosphorylase.
