Branching enzyme (1,4-α-glucan:1,4-α-glucan 6-glucosyltransferase; EC 2.4.1.18) (BE)1 has an important role in the determination of the structure of starch in plants and of glycogen in animals and bacteria as it catalyzes the formation of the α-1,6 branch points in these polysacchari...
Starch is a very important and widely distributed natural product, occurring in the leaves of green plants, seeds, fruits, stems, roots, and tubers. It serves as the chemical storage form of the energy of the sun and is the primary source of energy for the organisms on the Earth. Starch...
This book provides a detailed overview of the current understanding of the metabolic system of starch biosynthesis and degradation in plants. The focus is on new topics regarding the functional interaction between multiple enzymes and the initiation process of starch biosynthesis, which are essential for...

of storing energy over long periods in green plants. The granule is well suited to this role, being insoluble in water and densely packed, but still accessible to the plant's catabolic enzymes. Native starch granules have a crystallinity varying from 15% to 45%, thus, most native starch ...

Graviperception in plant stems is thought to occur in endodermal cells differentiated as a starch sheath, but little is known about the ultrastructure of these cells in dicots. The structure of the pea starch sheath was studied with respect to gravity and to development in order to determine ...

In this review we will focus first on our present understanding of the structures of amylose and amylopectin and their organization within the granule, and we will then give insights on the biosynthetic mechanisms explaining the biogenesis of starch in plants. 展开 ...
