Numerous reviews on starch biosynthesis and degradation have appeared inthe 1980s (4, 23, 39, 40, 51, 73, 100, 101, 124, 125). Here we updateestablished concepts and emphasize three topics that we consider to now meritreexamination: the significance of enzyme multiplicity, a comparison ofdegradation of reserve and transitory starch, and the localization of starchdegrading enzymes in starch-free cellular compartments of leaf tissues. Westress the cell physiological aspects of starch metabolizing enzymes.
