Abstract excerpt
The enzymes of STARCH SYNTHASE (SS) are key players in starch biosynthesis which have proven their impact on different aspects of the starch biosynthesis and functionalities. These SSs seem to be key differences among species and organs regarding their contributions to starch synthesis. The function of StSS5 in starch synthesis of tubers was proposed, but it remains to be investigated. Here, we generated two...
