Plastidial starch phosphorylase regulates maltodextrin turnover during starch granule initiation in Arabidopsis leaves Open
PLASTIDIAL STARCH PHOSPHORYLASE 1 (PHS1) is considered integral to starch synthesis, yet its role in transient starch synthesis in photosynthetic tissues remains unclear, as mutation of PHS1 in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) does not a…

Post-Translational Regulation of Starch Branching Enzyme 2.2 from Arabidopsis thaliana Open
Starch is the most abundant carbohydrate storage molecule in plants. It is produced in chloroplasts in the light providing a source of fixed carbon when photosynthesis is not occurring. Its synthesis involves the coordinated activity of mu…

Starch as a source, starch as a sink: the bifunctional role of starch in carbon allocation Open
Starch commands a central role in the carbon budget of the majority of plants on earth, and its biological role changes during development and in response to the environment. Throughout the life of a plant, starch plays a dual role in carb…
