Concerted suppression of all starch branching enzyme genes in barley produces amylose-only starch granules

Concerted suppression of all starch branching enzyme genes in barley produces amylose-only starch granules

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Starch is stored in higher plants as granules composed of semi-crystalline amylopectin and amorphous amylose. Starch granules provide energy for the plant during dark periods and for germination of seeds and tubers. Dietary starch is...
