Natural Variation in the Amylose Content of Starch
Plant Physiology, Plant Physiology: On The InsideStarch is the major storage carbohydrate in plants. It occurs as semi-crystalline, insoluble granules consisting of two Glc polymers: amylopectin and amylose. Amylopectin, the major polymer, gives rise to the semi-crystalline matrix of the granule. Amylose is believed to reside in amorphous regions…

Malate Transport and Apple Tartness
Plant Physiology, Plant Physiology: On The InsideAcidity is a major contributor to apple (Malus domestica) fruit quality, including fruit overall taste and flavor. Organic acids collectively are responsible for acidity, but malic acid accounts for more than 90% of the total acid and largely controls apple fruit acidity. Most of the malic acid in apple…
How to Make a LAZY Plant Weep
Plant Physiology, Plant Physiology: On The InsideThe LAZY gene family, discovered through the characterization of a rice (Oryza sativa) mutant with unusually wide tiller angles, encodes proteins that function in gravitropism. Gravitropism begins with a perception process that ultimately causes a difference in the cell elongation rate across the…
Variation in xylem resistance to cavitation explains why some leaves within a canopy are more likely to die under water stress
