Evidence for distinct mechanisms of starch granule breakdown in plants.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 28 Apr 2006

Abstract excerpt

The aim of this work was to understand the initial steps of starch breakdown inside chloroplasts. In the non-living endosperm of germinating cereal grains, starch breakdown is initiated by alpha-amylase secreted from surrounding cells. However, loss of alpha-amylase from Arabidopsis does not prevent chloroplastic starch breakdown (Yu, T.-S., Zeeman, S. C., Thorneycroft, D., Fulton, D. C., Dunstan, H., Lue, W.-L.,...
