Abstract:
... Waxy, low-amylose and high-amylose rice starches were chosen to separate inner blocklets and outer shell from their granules under incomplete gelatinization. Isolated outer shells and swollen or merged inner blocklets, based on morphological structure of broken granules, were used as a probe to study the mechanism of differences between outer and inner blocklets formation, through molecular charac ...

Abstract:
... Flow characteristics and the mechanical theory of granular flows in dense sheared granular systems have yet to be fundamentally understood because of the complexities and discreteness of these systems. This study derives the appropriate equations and effects of mechanical parameters on fluctuation velocity, and investigates the solid volume fraction for a dense granular assembly sheared between tw ...

Abstract:
... Native maize starch (NS) is modified by annealing (ANN) and cross‐linking (CL) processes, and also by using two different combinations of the ANN and CL processes (ANN‐CL and CL‐ANN). The effects of modifications on physicochemical properties and in vitro digestibility of starch are studied. The results show that CL‐ANN significantly (p < 0.05) improves swelling power and decreases solubility. The ...

Abstract:
... The application of exogenous 6‐benzyladenine (6‐BA) can mitigate plant responses to drought stress. The effects of spraying exogenous 6‐BA at the silking‐stage on the waxy maize starch physicochemical properties under post‐silking well‐watered and drought conditions are studied using Jingkenuo2000 (JKN2000) and Yunuo7 (YN7) as materials. The starch granule size in response to drought is enlarged i ...
... Wild rice species represent valuable germplasm for breeding of elite genotypes with enhanced resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, differences in endosperm morphology between wild and cultivated rice, and how these are affected by enhanced levels of atmospheric CO₂ (eCO₂) predicted for later this century, are largely unknown. Accessions of native rice species from northern Australia, ...
... KEY MESSAGE: High levels of two major starch synthases, SSIIa and GBSSI, in ss3a ss4b double mutant rice alter the starch structure but fail to recover the polygonal starch granule morphology. The endosperm starch granule is polygonal in wild-type rice but spherical in double mutant japonica rice lacking genes encoding two of the five major Starch synthase (SS) isozymes expressed in endosperm, SSI ...
granules, etc ; fields; medicine; protein folding; proteins; Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... Protein misfolding is a topic that is of primary interest both in biology and medicine because of its impact on fundamental processes and disease. In this review, we revisit the concept of protein misfolding and discuss how the field has evolved from the study of globular folded proteins to focusing mainly on intrinsically unstructured and often disordered regions. We argue that this shift of para ...

Abstract:
... This study evaluated the effects of pretreatments (blanching (60 and 95 °C) and boiling) and drying methods (freeze-drying and oven drying) on the quality characteristics of potato flour derived from three potato varieties, namely, Shangi, Unica, and Dutch Robjin. The percentage flour yield, color, particle size distribution, flow characteristics, microstructural and functional properties of the p ...
... In vitro digestibility and physicochemical properties of chitosan (CS)‐modified Arenga pinnata starch (APS) after heat‐moisture treatment (HMT) were evaluated. HMT would limit the enzymatic hydrolysis of APS and the digestion rate of HMT‐APS‐CS was further reduced with the decrease of CS molecular weight. CS and HMT inhibited the solubility (SOL) and swelling power (SP) of APS, and the inhibition ...
... BACKGROUND: Slow‐release fertilizer is widely used in cereal crop production because it is ecofriendly and laborsaving. Effects of different application stages (zero‐, three‐, and six‐leaf stages, denoted as SN0, SN3, and SN6, respectively) of slow‐release (N/P₂O₅/K₂O = 225/75/75 kg ha⁻¹) fertilizer on physicochemical properties of starch from spring‐sown waxy maize were investigated in 2018 and 2 ...

Abstract:
... RNA granules, aggresomes, and autophagy are key players in the immune response to viral infections. They provide countermeasures that regulate translation and proteostasis in order to rewire cell signaling, prevent viral interference, and maintain cellular homeostasis. The formation of cellular aggregates and inclusions is one of the strategies to minimize viral infections and virus-induced cell d ...

Abstract:
... The occurrence of chalkiness has decreased in new hybrid rice cultivars in China. As both chalkiness occurrence and starch granule size are associated with the biosynthesis of starch, we hypothesized that there may be a correlation between chalkiness occurrence and starch granule size, and this may partially explain the decreased chalkiness occurrence in the new hybrid rice cultivars. To test this ...
