Progress in High-Amylose Cereal Crops through Inactivation of Starch Branching Enzymes
High-amylose cereal starches provide many health benefits for humans. The inhibition or mutation of starch branching enzyme (SBE) genes is an effective method to develop high-amylose cereal crops. This review summarizes the development of high-amylose cereal crops through the inactivation of one or more SBE isoforms or combination with other genes. This review also reveals the causes of increas...
متن کاملGeneration of High-Amylose Rice through CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Targeted Mutagenesis of Starch Branching Enzymes
Cereals high in amylose content (AC) and resistant starch (RS) offer potential health benefits. Previous studies using chemical mutagenesis or RNA interference have demonstrated that starch branching enzyme (SBE) plays a major role in determining the fine structure and physical properties of starch. However, it remains a challenge to control starch branching in commercial lines. Here, we use CR...
متن کاملPea starch, a starch of high amylose content.
Two general classes of starch have been recognized up to the present time, the common starches, containing both amylose and amylopectin molecules, and the waxy or glutinous cereal starches, which are comprised almost entirely of amylopectin. The first class can, in turn, be subdivided into two broad groups, one composed of the so called root starches, such as t’apioca, potato, a,nd sweet potato...
متن کاملEffects of high-amylose maize starch and butyrylated high-amylose maize starch on azoxymethane-induced intestinal cancer in rats
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major cause of death worldwide. Studies suggest that dietary fibre offers protection perhaps by increasing colonic fermentative production of butyrate. This study examined the importance of butyrate by investigating the effects of resistant starch (RS) and butyrylated-RS on azoxymethane (AOM)-induced CRC in rats. Four groups (n = 30 per group) of Sprague-Dawley rats...

Mutisya, J.M. 2004. Starch branching enzymes and their genes in sorghum. Doctor’s dissertation. ISSN 1401-6249, ISBN 91-576-6768-3 Starch is an important raw material both for food and non-food purposes. It is synthesized and stored in source and sink tissues in plants. The starch deposited in amyloplasts of storage tissues possesses several physico-chemical properties, which makes it desirable...
