TL;DR: Analyses of the Chlamydomonas genome advance the understanding of the ancestral eukaryotic cell, reveal previously unknown genes associated with photosynthetic and flagellar functions, and establish links between ciliopathy and the composition and function of flagella.
Journal ArticleDOI
Starch granules: structure and biosynthesis.
TL;DR: This review will focus first on the present understanding of the structures of amylose and amylopectin and their organization within the granule, and then on the biosynthetic mechanisms explaining the biogenesis of starch in plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome analysis of the smallest free-living eukaryote Ostreococcus tauri unveils many unique features

TL;DR: The complete genome sequence of an ancient member of this lineage, the unicellular green alga Ostreococcus tauri, is unveiled, making O. tauri an ideal model system for research on eukaryotic genome evolution, including chromosome specialization and green lineage ancestry.
Journal ArticleDOI
From bacterial glycogen to starch: understanding the biogenesis of the plant starch granule.
Steven G. Ball,Matthew K. Morell +1 more
TL;DR: Comparisons of phenotypes generated by debranching enzyme-defective mutants in Escherichia coli and plants suggest that enzymes previously thought to be involved in polysaccharide degradation have been recruited during evolution to serve a particular purpose in starch biosynthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent progress toward understanding biosynthesis of the amylopectin crystal.
TL;DR: Starch consists almost entirely of the Glc homopolymers amylopectin and amylose, and is the major contributor to both mass and granule structure.
