The Structure, Function, and Regulation of Starch Synthesis Enzymes SSIII with Emphasis on Maize
Agronomy, 2022 Starch biosynthesis is a complex and highly controlled process that requires coordinated activities among multiple enzymes. Starch synthase III (SSIII) is the largest protein in the starch synthase complex and its function is to lengthen long-chain ...

Understanding the Binding of Starch Fragments to Granule-Bound Starch Synthase
Biomacromolecules, 2021 Granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS) plays a major role, that of chain elongation, in the biosynthesis of amylose, a starch component with mostly (1 → 4)-α connected long chains of glucose with a few (1 → 6)-α branch points. Chain-length distributions (CLDs) of amylose affect functional properties, which can be controlled by changing appropriate ...

Plant-Environment Interactions, 2021 Starch biosynthesis is a complex process underlying grain chalkiness in rice in a genotype‐dependent manner. Coordinated expression of starch biosynthesis genes is important for producing translucent rice grains, while disruption in this process leads to

Pullulanase and Starch Synthase III Are Associated with Formation of Vitreous Endosperm in Quality Protein Maize. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The opaque-2 (o2) mutation of maize increases lysine content, but the low seed density and soft texture of this type of mutant are undesirable. Lines with modifiers of the soft kernel phenotype (mo2) called "Quality Protein Maize" (QPM) have high lysine ...

STARCH SYNTHASE5, a Noncanonical Starch Synthase-Like Protein, Promotes Starch Granule Initiation in Arabidopsis [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 2020 What determines the number of starch granules in plastids is an enigmatic aspect of starch metabolism. Several structurally and functionally diverse proteins have been implicated in the granule initiation process in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), with each protein exerting a varying degree of influence.

Functional Analysis of Starch Metabolism in Plants
Plants, 2020 In plants, starch is synthesized in leaves during the day-time from fixed carbon through photosynthesis and is mobilized at night to support continued respiration, sucrose export, and growth in the dark.

Analysis of Starch Synthase Activities in Wheat Grains using Native-PAGE
Bio-Protocol, 2016 Starch synthases are one class of key enzymes involving in the synthesis of cereal starch, which transfer glucose from ADP-glucose to the non-reducing end of pre-existing α-(1-4)-liked glucosyl chains of amylopectin.
