Lineage-specific Evolutionary Histories and Regulation of Major Starch Metabolism Genes during Banana Ripening

Starch is the most widespread and abundant storage carbohydrate in plants. It is also a major feature of cultivated bananas as it accumulates to large amounts during banana fruit development before almost complete conversion to soluble sugars during ripening. Little is known about the structure of m...
