Starch Biosynthesis and Degradation in Plants

Abstract: Starch is the main form in which plants store carbon. The glucose polymers that constitute the semi‐crystalline starch granule are synthesized by the concerted actions of well‐conserved classes of isoforms of starch synthase and starch‐branching enzyme, via a process that also requires the debranching enzyme isoamylase. The degradation of the granule proceeds via different pathways in different types of starch‐storing tissues.

“…A full description of the applied bioinformatic methods is included in the Supporting Information (Methods S1). Briefly, 19 enzyme families involved in sucrose metabolism, starch metabolism and starch degradation were selected (Fernie et al ., 2002; Smith, 2007; Noronha et al ., 2018). Known sequences of the selected enzymes were found in the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway database.…”

“…Starch can be modified by α glucan (Zhou et al ., 2017). When carbon shortage occurs, there are potentially multiple pathways by which starch may be degraded to soluble sugars, for example by α amylases, β amylases and other enzymes (Witt & Sauter, 1994; Smith, 2007; Zeeman et al ., 2010). Starch pathway studies in sink tissues have shown expression of enzymes involved in starch synthesis, as sucrose synthase (SUS), AGP and branching enzymes, and in starch degradation, such as starch phosphorylase, disproportionating enzymes (DPE), de‐branching enzymes, α and β amylases, maltose translocators and glucose translocators (Smith et al ., 2005; Geisler‐lee et al ., 2006; Regier et al ., 2009; Silva et al ., 2017; Noronha et al ., 2018).…”

“…La retrogradación es un proceso que ocurre cuando en las suspensiones de almidón gelatinizadas las cadenas de amilosa y amilopectina se reasocian formando una estructura más ordenada. En otras palabras, los eventos biosintéticos controlan la formación y por lo tanto, la estructura del almidón, que es dependiente de las condiciones de crecimiento del cultivo (Buleon y col., 1998;Copeland y col., 2009;Smith, 2007). Sin embargo se ha señalado que si bien puede haber una correlación entre, por ejemplo, la variedad del cultivo y la rápida digestibilidad del almidón, esto no es causal (Copeland y col., 2009).…”

“…almidón son controladas por los diversos niveles estructurales mencionados(Smith, 2007).En general, el almidón consumido por los animales domésticos está en gran parte en estado nativo (no gelatinizado), mientras que en la mayoría de los alimentos consumidos por los humanos el almidón se encuentra gelatinizado, con algunas excepciones, como el muesli. Durante el proceso de cocción se destruye la estructura granular del almidón.…”
