Starch biosynthesis.
Starch is the most significant form of carbon reserve in plants in terms of the amount made, the universality of its distribution among different plant species, and its commercial importance. It consists of different glucose polymers arranged into a threedimensional, semicrystalline structure-the starch granule. The biosynthesis of starch involves not only the production of the composite glucan...

It is thought that digestion of hydrogen bonds results in the unwinding of the double helices of parallel α-1,4 glucan chains in the crystal lamellae of amylopectin molecules. Th...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of starch in chloroplasts.
The enzymic synthesis of ADP-glucose and UDP-glucose by chloroplastic pyrophosphorylase of bean and rice leaves has been demonstrated by paper chromatographic techniques. In both tissues, the activity of UDP-glucose-pyrophosphorylase was much higher than ADP-glucose-pyrophosphorylase. Glycerate-3-phosphate, phosphoenolpyruvate and fructose-1,6-diphosphate did not stimulate ADP-glucose formation...
متن کامل1 Starch Biosynthesis in Relation to Resistant Starch
Starch is present in amyloplasts as semi-crystalline intracellular waterinsoluble granules, with alternating crystalline and amorphous layers. Starch is a glucan homopolymer composed of one-quarter amylose (molecular mass 10–10Da) and three-quarters amylopectin (molecular mass 10–10Da), along with traces of lipids (0.1–1.0%) and proteins (0.05–0.5%). Amylose is essentially a linear glucan polym...
متن کاملUpdate on Signals Regulating Starch Biosynthesis Regulation of Starch Biosynthesis in Response to a Fluctuating Environment
Starch is the major storage carbohydrate in higher plants, with many important functions. In photosynthesizing leaves, starch accumulates during the day and is remobilized at night to support continued respiration, Suc export, and growth in the dark (Geiger and Servaites, 1994). In this context, starch has been identified as a major integrator in the regulation of plant growth to cope with cont...
