Title: Metabolites controlling the rate of starch synthesis in the chloroplast of C3 plants. Author: Pettersson G, Ryde-Pettersson U. Journal: Eur J Biochem; 1989 Jan 15; 179(1):169-72. PubMed ID: 2537197. Abstract: The extent to which different stromal metabolites affecting ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase control the rate of photosynthetic starch production in the chloroplast of C3 plants has been examined by kinetic model studies. The results indicate that ATP, glucose 1-phosphate, 3-phosphoglycerate, fructose 6-phosphate, and orthophosphate may provide significant contributions to the starch synthesis rate changes induced by variation of the external concentration of orthophosphate, the detailed control situation being dependent on the actual concentration of the external metabolite.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
