Leaf starch degradation comes out of the shadows.

Trends in plant science - 1 Mar 2005

Lloyd James R, Kossmann Jens, Ritte Gerhard

Abstract excerpt

During the day, plants accumulate starch in their leaves as an energy source for the coming night. Based on recent findings, the prevailing view of how the transitory starch is remobilized needs considerable revision. Analyses of transgenic and mutant plants demonstrate that plastidic glucan phosphorylase is not required for normal starch breakdown and cast doubt on the presumed essential role of alpha-amylase...
