Overlapping functions of the starch synthases SSII and SSIII in amylopectin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis.

BMC plant biology - 23 Sept 2008

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The biochemical mechanisms that determine the molecular architecture of amylopectin are central in plant biology because they allow long-term storage of reduced carbon. Amylopectin structure imparts the ability to form semi-crystalline starch granules, which in turn provides its glucose storage function. The enzymatic steps of amylopectin biosynthesis resemble those of the soluble polymer glycogen,...
