Abstract excerpt
Plant starch synthesis can be distinguished from those of bacterial, fungal, and animal glycogen by the presence of multiple elongation (starch synthases) and branching enzymes. This complexity has precluded genetic assignment of functions to the various soluble starch synthases in the building o...
