Tuning heterologous glucan biosynthesis in yeast to understand and exploit plant starch diversity

BMC Biology, 2022
Background Starch, a vital plant-derived polysaccharide comprised of branched glucans, is essential in nutrition and many industrial applications. Starch is often modified post-extraction to alter its structure and enhance its functionality.

Overexpression of acetyl-CoA synthetase (ACS) enhances the biosynthesis of neutral lipids and starch in the green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

, 2018
Genetic engineering can be the solution to achieve the economically feasible production of microalgal based biofuels and other bulk materials. A good number of microalgal species can grow mixotrophically using acetate as carbon source.

Lessons From Drug Discovery for Cryoprotective Agent Design: An AI‐Oriented Perspective

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Cryoprotectant design is reframed through the lens of drug discovery as a multiparameter optimization problem. This perspective highlights how AI and systematic design strategies could enable safer, more effective cryoprotectants, while identifying key limitations that currently constrain predictive progress in cryobiology. ABSTRACT Cryopreservation is

Precursor uptake assays and metabolic analyses in isolated tomato fruit chromoplasts [PDF]

, 2012
Background Carotenoids are the most widespread group of pigments found in nature. In addition to their role in the physiology of the plant, carotenoids also have nutritional relevance as their incorporation in the human diet provides health benefits.

Excipient Emulsion–Based Delivery Systems for Enhancing Carotenoid Bioavailability: Advances in Formulation and Gastrointestinal Fate

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.
Excipient emulsion systems improve carotenoid solubilization, protect against degradation, and enhance gastrointestinal absorption through optimized formulation and digestion behavior. ABSTRACT Carotenoids are bioactive compounds that contribute to human health through antioxidant, provitamin A, and disease‐preventive effects.

Genetic Variation and Sequence Diversity of Starch Biosynthesis and Sucrose Metabolism Genes in Sweet Potato

Agronomy, 2020
Knowledge of genetic variations can provide clues into the molecular mechanisms regulating key crop traits. Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) is an important starch-producing crop, but little is known about the genetic variations in starch ...

Understanding Wheat Starch Metabolism in Properties, Environmental Stress Condition, and Molecular Approaches for Value-Added Utilization

Plants, 2021
Wheat starch is one of the most important components in wheat grain and is extensively used as the main source in bread, noodles, and cookies. The wheat endosperm is composed of about 70% starch, so differences in the quality and quantity of starch ...

Suggested models of starch biosynthesis in leaves.

, 2014
(A) The classic model of starch biosynthesis according to which (a) the starch biosynthetic process takes place exclusively in the chloroplast, segregated from the sucrose biosynthetic process taking place in the cytosol, and (b) AGP exclusively ...

The Role of the Gut Microbiota in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo‐HCT) is an effective treatment for patients with high‐risk hematologic malignancies. Over the last decade, gut microbiota composition during allo‐HCT has been associated with patients' outcomes.

Proteome Profile of Starch Granules Purified from Rice (Oryza sativa) Endosperm. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Starch is the most important food energy source in cereals. Many of the known enzymes involved in starch biosynthesis are partially or entirely granule-associated in the endosperm.
