Journal ArticleDOI
Starch: its metabolism, evolution, and biotechnological modification in plants.
TL;DR: Progress in identifying the enzymatic machinery required for the synthesis of amylopectin, the glucose polymer responsible for the insoluble nature of starch, is assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Starch turnover: pathways, regulation and role in growth.
Mark Stitt,Samuel C. Zeeman +1 more
TL;DR: Recent advances in understanding how starch turnover and the use of carbon for growth is regulated during diurnal cycles are discussed, with special emphasis on the role of the biological clock.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Previously Unknown Maltose Transporter Essential for Starch Degradation in Leaves
Totte Niittylä,Gaëlle Messerli,Martine Trevisan,Jychian Chen,Alison M. Smith,Samuel C. Zeeman +5 more
TL;DR: The severe mex1 phenotype demonstrates that MEX1 is the predominant route of carbohydrate export from chloroplasts at night, and homologous genes in plants including rice and potato indicate that maltose export is of widespread significance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diurnal Changes in the Transcriptome Encoding Enzymes of Starch Metabolism Provide Evidence for Both Transcriptional and Posttranscriptional Regulation of Starch Metabolism in Arabidopsis Leaves
Steven M. Smith,Daniel C. Fulton,Tansy Chia,David Thorneycroft,Andrew Chapple,Hannah Dunstan,Christopher M. Hylton,Samuel C. Zeeman,Alison M. Smith +8 more
TL;DR: The presence of some distinctive diurnal patterns of transcripts for enzymes known to be involved in starch metabolism facilitates the identification of other proteins that may participate in this process.
Journal ArticleDOI
The diurnal metabolism of leaf starch.
TL;DR: The present review provides an overview of starch biosynthesis, starch structure and starch degradation in the leaves of plants, focusing on recent advances in each area and highlighting outstanding questions.
