Increasing amyloplast size in wheat endosperm through mutation of PARC6 affects starch granule morphology

L Esch, QY Ngai, JE Barclay, R McNelly… - New …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
The determination of starch granule morphology in plants is poorly understood. The
amyloplasts of wheat endosperm contain large discoid A‐type granules and small spherical …

J Chen, A Watson-Lazowski, NU Kamble, M Vickers… - BMC Plant …, 2023 - Springer
Abstract Background Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum subsp. durum) is widely grown for
pasta production, and more recently, is gaining additional interest due to its resilience to …

Initiation of B-type starch granules in wheat endosperm requires the plastidial α-glucan phosphorylase PHS1

NU Kamble, F Makhamadjonov, B Fahy… - The Plant …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
The plastidial α-glucan phosphorylase (PHS1) can elongate and degrade
maltooligosaccharides (MOSs), but its exact physiological role in plants is poorly …

AtFZL is required for correct starch granule morphology in Arabidopsis chloroplasts

L Esch, QY Ngai, JE Barclay, D Seung - bioRxiv, 2022 - biorxiv.org
The control of starch granule number and morphology in plastids is poorly understood. Here,
we demonstrate that At FZL, a protein involved in thylakoid membrane organisation, is …
