Distinct Functions of STARCH SYNTHASE 4 Domains in Starch Granule Formation.

Plant physiology - 1 Jan 2018

Lu Kuan-Jen, Pfister Barbara, Jenny Camilla, Eicke Simona, Zeeman Samuel C

Abstract excerpt

The formation of normal starch granules in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) leaf chloroplasts requires STARCH SYNTHASE 4 (SS4). In plants lacking SS4, chloroplasts typically produce only one round granule rather than multiple lenticular granules. The mechanisms by which SS4 determines granule number and morphology are not understood. The N-terminal region of SS4 is unique among SS isoforms and contains several...
