What Controls the Amount and Structure of Starch in Storage Organs?
The regulation of starch synthesis in the starch-storing organs of higher plants-organs such as tubers, the embryos of grain legumes, and the endosperms of cereals, in which starch constitutes 50 to 80% of the dry weight at maturity-is complex and poorly understood. Our ignorance of this process has been highlighted by the recent upsurge of interest in starch synthesis, fueled largely by the po...
متن کاملStarch and sugar conversion in Dioscorea esculenta tubers and Curcuma longa rhizomes during storage
An investigation was carried out to reveal the changes in the concentration of soluble carbohydrates under tuber dormancy in food yam (Dioscorea esculenta) tubers and in an economically important spice cum medicinal plant turmeric (Curcuma longa) rhizomes under storage. Harvested, fully matured tubers of yam and rhizomes of turmeric were stored in wooden boxes under the conditions of 28 ? 2?C t...
متن کاملEffects of Influence Parameters on Color Formation in Glucose Syrups during Storage
Effects of pH, temperature, and syrup concentration on color formation in glucose syrups were studied and the shelf life of syrups under various conditions was estimated. Temperatures of 5, 25, and 45 ºC, pH values of 4, 5, and 6 as well as concentrations of 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, and 80 ºBrix were examined. After 26 weeks no significant color changes were observed at 5 ºC. At 45 ºC, color formati...
متن کاملStarch serves as carbohydrate storage in nematode-induced syncytia.
The plant parasitic nematode Heterodera schachtii induces specific syncytial feeding sites in the roots of Arabidopsis thaliana from where it withdraws all required nutrients. Therefore, syncytia have to be well supplied with assimilates and generate strong sinks in the host plant's transport system. Import mechanisms and consequent accumulation of sucrose in syncytia were described recently. I...
متن کاملCharacters related to higher starch accumulation in cassava storage roots
Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is valued mainly for high content starch in its roots. Our understanding of mechanisms promoting high starch accumulation in the roots is, however, still very limited. Two field-grown cassava cultivars, Huanan 124(H124) with low root starch and Fuxuan 01(F01) with high root starch, were characterised comparatively at four main growth stages. Changes in key sugars in ...
