This book provides a detailed overview of the current understanding
of the metabolic system of starch biosynthesis and degradation in
plants. The focus is on new topics regarding the functional
interaction between multiple enzymes and the initiation process of
starch biosynthesis, which are essential for further understanding
of related metabolic features. The book also explains and discusses
the distinct structures of amylopectin and amylose and the
crystalline structure of starch granules. At the same time, readers
will be made aware of areas where further research remains to be
done, such as the regulation of starch metabolism, the fine
structure of starch molecules, and the manipulation of the
structure and functional properties of starch by genetic and
molecular technology. Also described are aspects of the
biosynthetic machinery of starch, the structure and metabolism of
which have developed and been refined during the process of plant
evolution. In addition, recent approaches to producing novel
starches with distinct physicochemical and functional properties in
gene-modified mutants and transgenic plants for industrial
applications are introduced. Finally, the book elaborates on the
unresolved topics, necessary approaches and future prospects to
achieve a complete understanding of the regulation of starch
metabolism. This volume is of great value for general scientists,
students and anyone wishing to understand the specific and
complicated events of starch metabolism and biotechnology. It will
be especially useful for food scientists and engineers in academia
and industry.
