Wandering starch - how plastid dynamics affect starch granule formation?

|
By James Lloyd, Barclay JE, Smedley MA, Lopez SG
| New Phytologist
Starch is the major carbon store of most plants and is widely used in many industrial processes (Zeeman et al., 2010). It is synthesized in plastids, which can be chloroplasts in photosynthetic tissue or amyloplasts in starch storing storage organs. Starch granule size can affect its industrial usability, and different plants accumulate different patterns of starch granule shapes within their amyloplasts. In cereal endosperm, three patterns of granule formations occur (Fig. 1).
