Physicochemical properties of starches and expression and activity of starch biosynthesis-related genes in sweet potatoes
Open accessAbstract
The functional properties of starches from six sweet potato varieties containing various starch components and structures were studied in an attempt to identify starch sources for industrial uses. Tainan 18 (TNN18) with high-amylose (AM) starch exhibited high setback and breakdown viscosities, high water solubility at 85°C but low swelling volume at 65°C, and high hardness and adhesiveness; in contrast, the low-AM starch of Tainung 31 (TNG31) had opposite characteristics. Seven genes related to starch biosynthesis were tested, and GBSS, SS, SBEII, ISA, and AGPase were highly expressed in TNN18 and TNG31; however, transcript levels in DBE and SBE were extremely low. GBSS and SS activity reflected the abundance of GBSS and SS mRNA in TNG31 and TNN18, and expression of AGPase, GBSS, SS, and SBE in TNN18 substantially increased content of AM. The expression and activity of DBE had a significant effect on TNG31 with increased AP content.

It is reasonable that the gene expression of one of these starch-synthesizing enzymes would not directly be associated with SR starch composition.
“Considering that amylose and amylopectin are synthesized through complex processes involving multiple starch-synthesizing enzymes (Zeeman et al., 2010; Lai et al., 2016), it is reasonable that the gene expression of one of these starch-synthesizing enzymes would not directly be associated with SR starch composition.”

The two types of SBE, SBEI and SBEII, differ in substrate specificity and expression patterns.
“It was reported that the two types of SBE, SBEI and SBEII, differ in substrate specificity and expression patterns (Zeeman et al., 2010; Lai et al., 2016).”
From Comparative Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Critical Function of Sucrose Metabolism Related-Enzymes in Starch Accumulation in the Storage Root of Sweet Potato (2017) · cites this paper as Lai et al., 2016
Lai et al. (2016) showed that the starch properties depend on the coordinated expression of all genes within the pathway rather than on individual enzymes.
“These results are in agreement with those of Lai et al. (2016), which showed that the starch properties depend on the coordinated expression of all genes within the pathway rather than on individual enzymes.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
