Other claims from this paper (7)
- Mechanism Endosperm vacuolar SacB expression led to stable high-molecular-weight fructan accumulation in mature seeds.
- Intervention effect Vacuolar fructan accumulation had no detectable effect on kernel development.
- Intervention effect Vacuolar fructan accumulation had no detectable effect on germination.
- Intervention effect Cytosolic SacB expression severely affected starch synthesis.
- Intervention effect Cytosolic SacB expression severely affected endosperm development.
- Mechanism Hexose from cytosolic SacB activity was not used for starch synthesis.
- Mechanism The authors concluded that starch synthesis in maize endosperm predominantly proceeds through uridine diphosphoglucose via sucrose synthase.
