Abstract excerpt
Previously, in Arabidopsis thaliana, we found atypical spherical starch granules in dpe2ss4 and dpe2phs1ss4. However, the mechanism of such abnormal morphogenesis is still obscure. By tracking starch granule length and thickness with leaf ageing, we reported that the starch granules in dpe2phs1ss4 gradually change to a spherical shape over time. In comparison, Col-0 and the parental line ss4 did not exhibit...
