Background
This polysaccharide is the primary energy storage molecule in plants and serves as a major dietary carbohydrate for many organisms. Studying its synthesis and degradation is fundamental to plant biology and nutritional research.
Pathways
Starch synthesis and degradation are central to carbohydrate metabolism, regulated by upstream signals like light and nutrient availability. Starch serves as a downstream glucose reservoir for cellular respiration and biosynthetic pathways.
