In this paper, compositions and molecular structures of starches and their effects on physicochemical properties are summarized and discussed, including gelatinization, pasting, retrogradation properties and enzyme digestibility of starch granules.
Abstract
Starches from different botanical sources differ in the ratio of amylose to amylopectin contents, molecular structures of amylose and amylopectin, granule morphology, and minor-component contents. These structural features result in different gelatinization, pasting, retrogradation properties, and enzyme digestibility of starch granules. In this review, compositions and molecular structures of starches and their effects on the physicochemical properties are summarized and discussed.

Form and functionality of starch

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the current understanding of starch structure that is relevant to its functionality in foods and nutrition, and describe how amylose influences packing of amylopectin into crystallites and the organization of the crystalline lamellae within granules, which is important for properties related to water uptake.

Carbon dynamics in trees: feast or famine?

TL;DR: It is proposed that in the face of environmental stochasticity, large, long-lived trees may require larger C investments in storage pools as safety margins than previously recognized, and that an important function of these pools may be to maintain hydraulic transport, particularly during episodes of severe stress.
