katch wreck`by assessing granule numbers during grain development in the phs1 mutant..we demonstrate that PHS1 is exclusively involved in B-type granule initiation. The total #starch content & # of starch granules per #chloroplast in leaves were not affected by loss of PHS1, suggesting that its role in granule initiation..is limited to the #endosperm..initiation of A- & B-type granules occurs via distinct..mechanisms..PHS1 plays an exclusive role in B-type granule initiation`

🌱 #Endosperm is a nutritive tissue important to support developing seedlings
🌱 Sometimes it can develop independently of fertilisation (autonomously) in both sexual and #apomictic plants

JIPB#Amylose content determines taste, texture, look, and digestibility of #rice, and is controlled by alleles of the #Waxy gene. This study explores how kinase OsSK41/OsGSK5 negatively regulates AC in rice #endosperm.
