In vivo phosphoproteome characterization reveals key starch granule-binding phosphoproteins involved in wheat water-deficit response

BMC Plant Biology, 2017
Background Drought stress during grain development causes significant yield loss in cereal production. The phosphorylated modification of starch granule-binding proteins (SGBPs) is an important mechanism regulating wheat starch biosynthesis.

Heat stress during grain filling affects activities of enzymes involved in grain protein and starch synthesis in waxy maize

Scientific Reports, 2018
High temperature (temperature over 35 °C) is an extremely important environmental factor that affects the maize grain quality in Southern China. The effects of heat stress after pollination on grain protein and starch deposition and activities of ...

Starch accumulation in hulless barley during grain filling

Botanical Studies, 2017
Background Starch consists of two types of molecules: amylose and amylopectin. The objective of this study was increase understanding about mechanisms related to starch accumulation in hulless barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) grain by measuring temporal ...

Statistical epistasis between candidate gene alleles for complex tuber traits in an association mapping population of tetraploid potato [PDF]

, 2010
Association mapping using DNA-based markers is a novel tool in plant genetics for the analysis of complex traits. Potato tuber yield, starch content, starch yield and chip color are complex traits of agronomic relevance, for which carbohydrate metabolism

The Effects of Short-Term Exposure to Low Temperatures During the Booting Stage on Starch Synthesis and Yields in Wheat Grain

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Low temperatures (LT) in spring can have a major impact on the yields of wheat in winter. Wheat varieties with different cold sensitivities (the cold-tolerant Yannong 19 variety and the cold-sensitive Yangmai 18 variety) were used to study the responses ...

It takes two to tango: a new partner in amylose synthesis.

PLoS Biology, 2015
The mechanism by which plants make starch-a vital foodstuff for billions of humans-is poorly understood, with a clear role for just one enzyme, granular binding starch synthase. A new study identifies a protein needed to recruit this enzyme to the starch

Homology model of starch synthases

The FASEB Journal, 2006
Starch synthases are enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of starch in plants using ADP‐glucose as the donor to form α‐1,4‐glucosidic bonds. Despite the importance of these enzymes, no information about their three‐dimensional structure is available.

Effects of Elevated Ozone Concentration on Starch and Starch Synthesis Enzymes of Yangmai 16 Under Fully Open-Air Field Conditions

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2013
O3 is not only greenhouse gas but also a primary gaseous contaminant in the atmosphere. It has long-lasting effects on crop growth, yield and quality, and brings a series of ecological and environmental problems.
