Comparative transcriptomics reveals the difference in early endosperm development between maize with different amylose contents [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
In seeds, the endosperm is a crucial organ that plays vital roles in supporting embryo development and determining seed weight and quality. Starch is the predominant storage carbohydrate of the endosperm and accounts for ∼70% of the mature maize kernel ...

Modifying Starch Biosynthesis with Transgenes in Potatoes [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 1992
A large amount of the CO2 fixed by green plants is stored as reserve starch in plant tissues such as seeds, tubers, and roots. At present, this starch is used either directly for food or processed to yield starches with food and industrial uses. Worldwide, approximately 3 to 5% of the starch crop produced is used for the production of starch.

3D Chromatin Architecture Provides Insights Into Leaf Trait Variation Among Pear Species

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Three‐dimensional (3D) chromatin architecture plays a fundamental role in eukaryotic gene regulations, its functional significance in perennial fruit trees remains poorly characterized despite extensive applications in crop genomics. Here, we developed high‐resolution (∼5 kb) Hi‐C maps of Pyrus and compared 3D genomic architecture of three ...

Barley starch [PDF]

, 2013
This thesis examined barley amylopectin structure and looked for correlations between the structure and physical properties of starch. The structure of amylopectin and gelatinisation and retrogradation of starch were studied in 10 different barley ...

eQTL Meta‐Analysis Reveals Conserved and Population‐Specific Regulatory Variation Underlying Nutritional Trait Evolution and Domestication in Tomato

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A comprehensive meta‐analysis of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) across five diverse tomato populations reveals a high‐resolution atlas of transcriptional regulation and uncovers conserved and population‐specific regulatory architectures underlying fruit nutritional quality traits, including flavonoids, sugars, organic acids, carotenoids ...

Proteome Analysis of Potato Starch Reveals the Presence of New Starch Metabolic Proteins as Well as Multiple Protease Inhibitors

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Starch bound proteins mainly include enzymes from the starch biosynthesis pathway. Recently, new functions in starch molecular assembly or active protein targeting were also proposed for starch associated proteins.

Starch branching enzymes and their genes in Sorghum [PDF]

, 2004
Starch is an important raw material both for food and non-food purposes. It is synthesized and stored in source and sink tissues in plants. The starch deposited in amyloplasts of storage tissues possesses several physico-chemical properties, which makes ...

Integration of Spatiotemporal Multi‐Omics in Peach Fruit Unravels a Metabolic Niche and the Genetic Basis of Trichome‐Mediated Stress Adaptation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study constructed the first spatiotemporal multi‐omics map of peach fruit and discovered a key candidate gene that synergistically regulates trichome development and drought tolerance through the jasmonic acid signaling pathway, providing insights into the coupling mechanism between development and stress resistance.

StTrxF, a potato plastidic thioredoxin F-type protein gene, is involved in starch accumulation in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana

Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2017
The plastidic thioredoxin F-type (TrxF) protein plays a key role in plant carbohydrate metabolism. In this work, a gene encoding the TrxF protein, named StTrxF, was successfully isolated from potato and transformed into Arabidopsis thaliana to obtain ...

Natural DNA variation at candidate loci is associated with potato chip color, tuber starch content, yield and starch yield

, 2008
Complex characters of plants such as starch and sugar content of seeds, fruits, tubers and roots are controlled by multiple genetic and environmental factors.
