General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function glucan phosphorylation mediated by alpha-glucan, water dikinase is essential in the light phase for a functional transitory starch turnover. The length of the light phase affects the phosphorylation state of the transitory starch and, by this, the average leaf starch content and the resulting growth of the plants. The longer the light period, the higher the starch phosphorylation rate at G-6 of alpha-glucan and the lower the starch content. Starch phosphorylation by GWD in the light phase is in parts necessary for proper starch degradation in the following night Arabidopsis thaliana
