This study identifies Pho1a as the key glucosyltransferase for starch granule initiation in potato tubers, showing that its knockout leads to abnormal granule morphology and size.

This paper creates giant starch granules in wheat by modifying amyloplast size and granule initiation, resulting in starch with altered physicochemical properties.

The paper identifies two redundant MFP1 paralogs in wheat that interact with BGC1 and affect B-type granule initiation in endosperm amyloplasts.

This study examines the effects of SS1 deficiency in wheat, finding altered starch composition and cell wall polysaccharides but normal starch content and grain weight.

This study shows that mutations at the TtMRC-A1 locus in durum wheat can alter starch granule size distributions, affecting pasting properties and grain quality.
