Two β-amylase genes, OsBAM2 and OsBAM3, are involved in starch remobilization in rice leaf sheaths

To identify mechanisms of starch degradation in rice leaf sheaths at the post-heading stage, we investigated the function of OsBAM2 and OsBAM3, which encode plastid-targeted active β-amylase isoforms, in starch remobilization in leaf sheaths. The starch content in the second leaf sheaths below the f...
