Involvement of five catalytically active Arabidopsis β-amylases in leaf starch metabolism and plant growth.

Plant direct

Monroe JD.
PMID: 32072133
Plant Direct. 2020 Feb 11;4(2):e00199. doi: 10.1002/pld3.199. eCollection 2020 Feb.

Starch degradation in chloroplasts requires β-amylase (BAM) activity, but in Arabidopsis, there are nine BAM proteins, five of which are thought to be catalytic. Although single-gene knockouts revealed the necessity of BAM3 for starch degradation, contributions of other BAMs...

Mixed Culture Fermentations To Improve Nutritional Value of Corn Meal .

Journal of food protection

Fields ML, Al-Shoshan A, Poosiri Y.
PMID: 30991503
J Food Prot. 1988 Nov;51(11):866-868. doi: 10.4315/0362-028X-51.11.866.

One-step fermentation involving two microorganisms inoculated at the same time and two-step fermentations involving two inoculations of different microbes at different times were used to enrich corn meal. Starch in corn meal was first hydrolyzed by amylases of B....

UNLABELLED: ᅟ: Starch requires six enzymes for digestion to free glucose: two amylases (salivary and pancreatic) and four mucosal maltase activities; sucrase-isomaltase and maltase-glucoamylase. All are deficient in suckling rodents.OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to test (13)C-starch...

High Temperature-Induced Expression of Rice α-Amylases in Developing Endosperm Produces Chalky Grains.

Frontiers in plant science

Nakata M, Fukamatsu Y, Miyashita T, Hakata M, Kimura R, Nakata Y, Kuroda M, Yamaguchi T, Yamakawa H.
PMID: 29270189
Front Plant Sci. 2017 Dec 06;8:2089. doi: 10.3389/fpls.2017.02089. eCollection 2017.

Global warming impairs grain filling in rice and reduces starch accumulation in the endosperm, leading to chalky-appearing grains, which damages their market value. We found previously that high temperature-induced expression of starch-lytic α-amylases during ripening is crucial for grain...

Brazilian Ironstone Plant Communities as Reservoirs of Culturable Bacteria With Diverse Biotechnological Potential.

Extensive mineral extractivism in the Brazilian Iron Quadrangle (IQ) region has destroyed large areas of land, decimating plant species, and their associated microbiota. Very little is known about the microbiota of the region; hence, cultivable bacteria associated with plants...

Preliminary Investigations into the Use of Amylases and Lactic Acid Bacteria to Obtain Fermented Vegetable Products.

Foods (Basel, Switzerland)
