Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect The PARC6 mutant durum wheat endosperm amyloplasts contained more A- and B-type granules than the wild-type.
- Intervention effect The PARC6 mutant has increased A- and B-type granule size in mature grains.
- Observation A-type granules of the PARC6 mutant have a highly aberrant, lobed surface.
- Observation The morphological defect of the PARC6 mutant is already evident at early stages of grain development.
- Observation The PARC6 mutant morphological defect occurs without alterations in starch polymer structure and composition.
- Intervention effect Plant growth, grain size, grain number and starch content are not affected in the PARC6 mutant.
- Intervention effect Mutation of the PARC6 paralog ARC6 does not increase plastid or starch granule size in wheat.
- Mechanism TtPARC6 may complement disrupted TtARC6 function by interacting with PDV2 in wheat.
