Genome-Wide Identification and Genetic Variations of the Starch Synthase Gene Family in Rice [PDF]
Plants, 2021 Starch is a major ingredient in rice, and the amylose content of starch significantly impacts rice quality. OsSS (starch synthase) is a gene family related to the synthesis of amylose and amylopectin, and 10 members have been reported.

Interplay Between the N-Terminal Domains of Arabidopsis Starch Synthase 3 Determines the Interaction of the Enzyme With the Starch Granule [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The elongation of the linear chains of starch is undertaken by starch synthases. class 3 of starch synthase (SS3) has a specific feature: a long N-terminal region containing starch binding domains (SBDs). In this work, we analyze in vivo the contribution

Interaction of starch branching enzyme 3 and granule-bound starch synthase 1 alleles increases amylose content and alters physico-chemical properties in japonica rice (Oryza sativa L.) [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Four near-isogenic lines (NILs) with different allele combinations of the starch branching enzyme 3 (SBE3) and granule-bound starch synthase 1 (GBSS1) were developed by crossing the japonica rice cultivars “Dodamssal” and “Hwayeong.” The associations ...

Competition between Granule Bound Starch Synthase and Starch Branching Enzyme in Starch Biosynthesis [PDF]
Rice, 2019 Background Starch branching enzymes (SBE) and granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS) are two important enzymes for starch biosynthesis. SBE mainly contributes to the formation of side branches, and GBSS mainly contributes for the synthesis of amylose ...

Crystal Structures of the Catalytic Domain of Arabidopsis thaliana Starch Synthase IV, of Granule Bound Starch Synthase From CLg1 and of Granule Bound Starch Synthase I of Cyanophora paradoxa Illustrate Substrate Recognition in Starch Synthases [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Starch synthases (SSs) are responsible for depositing the majority of glucoses in starch. Structural knowledge on these enzymes that is available from the crystal structures of rice granule bound starch synthase (GBSS) and barley SSI provides incomplete ...

Rice Mutants Lacking Starch Synthase I or Branching Enzyme IIb Activity Altered Starch Biosynthetic Protein Complexes [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Amylopectin, the major component of starch, is synthesized by synergistic activity of multiple isozymes of starch synthases (SSs) and branching enzymes (BEs). The frequency and length of amylopectin branches determine the functionality of starch.

Starch Synthesis in Ostreococcus tauri: The Starch-Binding Domains of Starch Synthase III-B Are Essential for Catalytic Activity [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Starch is the major energy storage carbohydrate in photosynthetic eukaryotes. Several enzymes are involved in building highly organized semi-crystalline starch granules, including starch-synthase III (SSIII), which is widely conserved in photosynthetic ...

Impact of dormancy periods on some physiological and biochemical indices of potato tubers [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Background Storage of potato tubers is an essential stage of the supply chain, from farm to consumer, to efficiently match supply and demand. However, the quality and yield of potatoes are influenced by physiological changes during storage.
