Diversity of the starch biosynthesis pathway among organs(adapted from Comparot-Moss and Denyer, 2009 [14]). Starch biosynthetic pathway in A: photosynthetic tissues; B: storage tissues and C: the Poaceae endosperm. Abbreviations for enzymes (blue or black, corresponding to enzymes included or not included in our study, respectively) are Susy, sucrose synthase; UGPase, UDP glucose pyrophosphorylase; PGM, phosphoglucomutase; FK, fructokinase; PGI, phosphoglucose isomerase; Ppiase, pyrophosphatase; AGPase, ADP glucose pyrophosphorylase; GBSS, granule bound starch synthase; SS, starch synthase; BE, starch-branching enzyme; DBE, debranching enzyme; PHO, phosphorylase.
