DOI: 10.1016/j.jcs.2019.05.012
Abstract: Abstract Up to now, no information on the structural characteristics of glucans involved in the initiation of starch biosynthesis in cereal endosperm has been available. Since amylopectin is a major constituent of starch and largely… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2020.00289
Abstract: The enzyme starch synthase IIa (SSIIa) in cereals has catalytic and regulatory roles during the synthesis of amylopectin that influences the functional properties of the grain. Rice endosperm SSIIa is more active in indica accessions… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.951605
Abstract: Carotenoids, indispensable isoprenoid phytonutrients, are synthesized in plastids and are known to be deficient in rice endosperm. Many studies, involving transgenic manipulations of carotenoid biosynthetic genes, have been performed to obtain carotenoid-enriched rice grains. Nuclear-encoded… read more here.
