The role of starch degradation in non-vascular plants is poorly understood. To expand our knowledge of this area, we have studied this process in Physcomitrella patens. This has been achieved through examination of the ...
Repression of sex4 and like sex four2 orthologs in potato increases tuber starch bound phosphate with concomitant alterations in starch properties physical

Samodien, Ebrahim; Jewell, Jonathan F.; Loedolff, Bianke; Oberlander, Kenneth; George, Gavin M.; Zeeman, Samuel C.; Damberger, Fred F.; Van Der Vyver, Christell; Kossmann, Jens; Lloyd, James R. (Frontiers Media, 2018-07-23)

To examine the roles of starch phosphatases in potatoes, transgenic lines were produced where orthologs of SEX4 and LIKE SEX FOUR2 (LSF2) were repressed using RNAi constructs. Although repression of either SEX4 or LSF2 ...
