Starch phosphorylation – A new perspective: A review Open
The phosphorylation of the storage carbohydrates, starch and glycogen, is a process that is fundamental to their physicochemical properties and their turnover. Therefore, the interest utilising phosphorylation as a biotechnological tool to…

Customizing Starch Properties: A Review of Starch Modifications and Their Applications Open
Starch has been a convenient, economically important polymer with substantial applications in the food and processing industry. However, native starches present restricted applications, which hinder their industrial usage. Therefore, modif…

Phaseolus vulgaris and Pisum sativum, representing ureide and amide legumes respectively, exploit ureides differentially to mitigate the deleterious effects of cadmium toxicity Open
Purpose Ureides, allantoin and allantoate, are N-rich compounds used for N transport in nodulated ureide legumes. Here, we investigated their role in response of Phaseolus vulgaris and Pisum sativum , representing ureide and amide legumes,…

Transcriptomic analysis of mesocarp tissue during fruit development of the oil palm revealed specific isozymes related to starch metabolism that control oil yield Open
The oil palm ( Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) produces a large amount of oil from the fruit. However, increasing the oil production in this fruit is still challenging. A recent study has shown that starch metabolism is essential for oil synthesi…

Transcriptomic analysis during fruit development of the oil palm revealed specific isozymes related to starch metabolism that control oil yield Open
The oil palm ( Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) produces a large amount of oil from the fruit. A recent study has shown that starch metabolism is essential for oil synthesis in fruit-producing species. Therefore, we detected gene expression change…

Dpe2/phs1 revealed unique starch metabolism with three distinct phases characterized by different starch granule numbers per chloroplast, allowing insights into the control mechanism of granule number regulation by gene co-regulation and metabolic profiling Open
An Arabidopsis mutant lacking both the cytosolic Disproportionating enzyme 2 (DPE2) and the plastidial glucan Phosphorylase 1 (PHS1) revealed a unique starch metabolism. Dpe2/phs1 has been reported to have only one starch granule number pe…

<span>LIKE EARLY STARVATION</span> 1 alters the glucan structures at the starch granule surface and thereby influences the action of both starch‐synthesizing and starch‐degrading enzymes Open
SUMMARY For starch metabolism to take place correctly, various enzymes and proteins acting on the starch granule surface are crucial. Recently, two non‐catalytic starch‐binding proteins, pivotal for normal starch turnover in Arabidopsis le…

A review of starch, a unique biopolymer – Structure, metabolism and in planta modifications Open
Starch is a complex carbohydrate polymer produced by plants and especially by crops in huge amounts. It consists of amylose and amylopectin, which have α-1,4- and α-1,6-linked glucose units. Despite this simple chemistry, the entire starch…

Effect of Short-Term Cold Treatment on Carbohydrate Metabolism in Potato Leaves Open
Plants are often challenged by an array of unfavorable environmental conditions. During cold exposure, many changes occur that include, for example, the stabilization of cell membranes, alterations in gene expression and enzyme activities,…
