Abstract excerpt
Molecular factors that contribute to the diverse spatial and temporal patterns of starch granule initiation between species and organs are poorly understood. Wheat (Triticum sp.) endosperm contains both large A-type granules initiated during early grain development and small B-type granules that initiate about 10 to 15 days later. Here, we identify that the MYOSIN-RESEMBLING CHLOROPLAST PROTEIN (MRC) is required...
