Abstract excerpt
We investigated whether starch degradation occurs at the same time as starch synthesis in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) leaves in the light. Starch accumulated in a linear fashion for about 12 h after dawn, then accumulation slowed and content plateaued. Following decreases in light intensity, the rate of accumulation of starch declined in proportion to the decline in photosynthesis if the decrease occurred...
