Sugar metabolism in developing kernels of starch-deficient endosperm mutants of maize.
Sugar metabolism in kernels of starch-deficient endosperm mutants of maize (Zea mays L.) was examined to determine how single locus mutations of carbohydrate metabolism affect carbohydrate metabolism as a whole. Activities of 14 enyzmes were measured in extracts from endosperms from isogenic lines of normal, shrunken, shrunken-2, shrunken-4, brittle-1, and brittle-2 maize in an OH43 background....
متن کاملIndependent components analysis of starch deficient pgm mutants
Changes in enzymatic activities in response to carbon starvation were investigated in Arabidopsis thaliana in two distinct experiments. One compares the Columbia ecotype (Col-0) and its starch deficient pgm mutant (plastidial phosphoglucomutase), the other investigates the enzymatic activities of Col-0 under extended night conditions. A classical technique for detecting and visualizing relevant...

متن کاملInfluence of Gene Dosage on Carbohydrate Synthesis and Enzymatic Activities in Endosperm of Starch-Deficient Mutants of Maize.
In cereals, starch is synthesized in endosperm cells, which have a ploidy level of three. By studying the allelic dosage of mutants affecting starch formation in maize (Zea mays L.) kernels, we determined the effect of down-regulated enzyme activity on starch accumulation and the activity of associated enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism. We found a direct relationship between the amount of star...
متن کاملStarch Biosynthesis in the Developing Endosperms of Grasses and Cereals
The starch-rich endosperms of the Poaceae, which includes wild grasses and their domesticated descendents the cereals, have provided humankind and their livestock with the bulk of their daily calories since the dawn of civilization up to the present day. There are currently unprecedented pressures on global food supplies, largely resulting from population growth, loss of agricultural land that ...
