Rice with a high resistant starch (RS) content is one the most commonly used, effective, and
safe functional foods, which can be used to prevent diabetes and its related complications in …

Starch is a major component of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) endosperm and is an important
part of the human diet. The functions of many starch synthesis genes have been elucidated …

The grain filling of inferior spikelets is much less complete than that of superior spikelets in
rice cultivars with large panicles and numerous spikelets and is promoted by moderate soil …

The sugar transporter (ST) family is considered to be the most important gene family for
sugar accumulation, but limited information about the ST family in the important sugar …

High temperature impairs starch biosynthesis in develo** rice grains and thereby
increases chalkiness, affecting the grain quality. Genome encoded microRNAs (miRNAs) …

Starch synthesis is an essential feature of crop filling, but knowledge of the molecular
mechanisms regulating the expression of starch synthesis genes (SSGs) is currently limited …

Key message High levels of two major starch synthases, SSIIa and GBSSI, in ss3a ss4b
double mutant rice alter the starch structure but fail to recover the polygonal starch granule …

Background The digestibility of starch is important for the nutritive value of staple food.
Although several genes are responsible for resistant starch (RS) and slowly digestible starch …

Background Rice grain size (GS) is an essential agronomic trait. Though several genes and
miRNA modules influencing GS are known and seed development transcriptomes analyzed …

The increasing demand for starch has been a social struggle. We report a new technology
that efficiently produces starch from duckweed. Although Landoltia punctata has a dramatic …
