Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase activity rose continuously under nutrient starvation.
- Intervention effect Duckweed starch percentage rose continuously under nutrient starvation.
- Method / resource A de novo duckweed transcriptome contained 74,797 contigs.
- Observation Transcripts for starch consumption enzymes were down-regulated.
- Observation Some photosynthesis-related transcripts declined during the first 24 h.
- Observation Some transporter transcripts rose within the first 2 h.
- Observation Most flavonoid biosynthesis enzyme transcripts remained highly expressed regardless of starvation.
- Observation Laccase transcripts had very low abundance in all three samples.
- Mechanism The authors infer nutrient starvation redirects fixed CO2 toward starch synthesis.
