Although cassava can be planted throughout the year, its starch qualities may vary based on the date of planting. Seasonal variation on starch content, starch yield, starch granule size and amylose content of cassava cv. Rayong 9 grown under irrigated and rainfed conditions were studied for four planting dates in Thailand. A randomized complete block design with four replications was used in each planting. Planting dates consisted of hot-dry (20-Apr), early-rainy (30-Jun), late-rainy (5-Oct) and cool seasons (15-Dec). At final harvest, planting date accounted for the largest variations for starch yield (60.8%), starch granule size (38.2%), amylose content (50.5%) and ratio of amylose to amylopectin (53.7%), whereas starch content was affected more by water regime (52.1%). Supplemental irrigation did not significantly increase starch yield and other parameters for most planting dates, except for starch yield of the crop planted in the hot-dry season. This indicated that irrigation at the late-growth stages (during Sep to Mar) for the crop planted in the hot-dry season helped to increase starch yield; however, irrigation was unnecessary for other planting dates once cassava was established. The crops planted in the late-rainy and cool seasons had a greater starch content and starch yield than other planting dates for both irrigated and rainfed crops, whereas the crop planted in the hot-dry season had high starch yield for the irrigated crops only. In this study, the crops planted in the early-rainy season showed the worst performances for starch content and starch yield for both irrigated and rainfed crops. The data provided information on the responses of starch yield and its characteristics under irrigated and rainfed conditions at different planting dates, which can be useful for designing cultural practices with respect to water management and planting period in order to obtain optimum starch yield and qualities.

The information on genotypic responses to the seasonal variation in the starch content, starch yield, and starch quality of cassava is limited. The objective of this research was to investigate the seasonal variation of starch characteristics of three cassava genotypes grown under irrigation. The experiment was conducted at four planting dates (20 April, 30 June, 5 October, and 15 December 2015). Three cassava genotypes (CMR38-125-77, Kasetsart 50, and Rayong 11) were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with four replications and the plants were harvested at 12 months. The planting date contributed the largest portion of the total variation in the starch content, starch yield, and starch granule size. The amylose content variability was heavily influenced by genotype. Cassava planted on 5 October or 15 December had greater starch content, starch yield, and starch granule in most genotypes. This was likely due to a higher temperature and solar radiation during the 3–9 months post-planting. CMR38-125-77 showed a consistently high starch content, starch yield, and high amylose content for most planting dates except for the starch yield on 20 April, of which Rayong 11 was the best. These findings will be useful for choosing suitable cassava genotypes for different growing seasons and for facilitating breeding efforts for high starch-yielding and high-quality cassava starch in the future.

This study aims to evaluate seasonal variation on starch production of different cassava genotypes planted under irrigated condition. Three cassava genotypes (Kasetsart 50, Rayong 11 and CMR38-125-77) were evaluated in two different growing seasons, i.e., early rainy seasons (ERS) and post rainy seasons (PRS) for two years. A randomized complete block design with four replicates was employed in each growing season. The starch yield was more strongly associated with growing season (28.3%), whereas starch content, amylose content, amylose-amylopectin ratio were more associated with genotypes (19.9–30.7%). Planting cassava in the ERS had rapid growth rates of starch yield and granule size in early growth stages, whereas planting cassava in the PRS had rapid growth rates of these traits in the middle to late growth stages. Cassava planted in the PRS had higher starch yield than the ERS for most genotypes except for Rayong 11, which had no significant differences between growing seasons. The yield and content of starch and size of starch granule continuously increased from four to twelve months after planting (MAP) for most cassava genotypes. Unlike other genotypes, CMR38-125-77 in the ERS gave the highest starch yield and its granule at 10 MAP; however, at 12 MAP, it was still higher than other genotypes. CMR38-125-77 was a preferable genotype, since it had a faster rate of starch formation and more starch and amylose contents, as well as starch yield in both ERS and PRS.

ABSTRACT: Biosynthesis is the only source of potato starch which is an important raw material for food processing, modified starch and biomass energy. However, it is not clear about the evolution of starch synthesis with tuber development in potato. The present study evaluated the differences of starch synthesis and gelatinization properties of potato tubers with different starch content. Relative to cultivars of medium and low starch content, cultivars of high starch content showed significantly higher SBEII gene expression, AGPase and SSS enzyme activity, and total starch content after middle stage of starch accumulation, and had smaller average starch granule size during whole process of tuber development, and had higher pasting temperature before late stages of tuber growth, and had lower pasting temperature after middle stage of starch accumulation. Path analysis showed that, after middle stage of starch accumulation, effects on starch gelatinization of cultivars with high, medium and low starch content represented starch synthesis enzyme activity > starch accumulation > starch granule distribution > starch synthesis enzyme gene expression, starch synthesis enzyme gene expression > starch synthesis enzyme activity > starch accumulation > starch granule distribution, starch synthesis enzyme gene expression > starch granule distribution > starch synthesis enzyme activity > starch accumulation, respectively. In the study, phases existed in the starch biosynthesis of potato tuber, and the starch quality and its formation process were different among varieties with different starch content. The findings might contribute to starch application and potato industries.

The combined stress of waterlogging and shading (WS) caused by continuous rain threatens the production of high-quality weak gluten wheat in China (Triticum aestivum L.). To evaluate its influences on wheat quality formation, Yangmai 158 was chosen to be subjected to WS at 0–7 days after anthesis (DAA, WS0–7), 8–15 DAA (WS8–15), 16–23 DAA (WS16–23), and 24–31 DAA (WS24–31), respectively, with non-stressed plants as control (Non-WS). Compared with Non-WS, WS reduced the amylopectin content and enhanced amylose content in the mature grains. WS enhanced the number and surface but reduced the size of the starch granules. The number, volume, and surface area percentages of B-type starch granules were enhanced, and the number and volume percentages of A-type starch granules were reduced by WS. The peak viscosity and gelatinization temperature were enhanced and the low viscosity and final viscosity were decreased by WS. WS applied at the mid-grain-filling stage (WS8–15 and WS16–23) had greater modification on the starch content, granule size distribution and pasting characteristics than that applied at early (WS0–7) or late (WS24–31). The changes of starch pasting characteristics under WS had a significant correlation with the amylase and amylopectin content, amylase/amylopectin, and the ratio of the volume percent of B-type and A-type starch granules.

Starch is a readily renewable resource that is very widely used for food and industrial purposes; however, greater variation in the functional properties of starch would further extend the use of this biodegradable polymer. Genetic engineering may provide a way to produce designer starches that have the desired properties. Starch-binding domains (SBD) from bacterial enzymes that catabolise starches have the ability to bind two helices of starch and thus have the potential to crosslink starch and / or to be used as anchors for other enzymes that can modify starch properties. In a first step towards novel modification of starch we have investigated the effect of expressing SBDs, singly and in tandem, in planta, and targeting them to the chloroplast in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. Transgenic plants that contained the SBD from the cyclomaltodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) of Thermoanaerobacterium thermosulfurigenes in the chloroplast were produced in both the wild type and the starch excess mutant (sex 1-1) backgrounds. Analysis of starch isolated from the chloroplasts of these lines revealed no significant changes in the amylose : amylopectin ratio, the chain-length distribution of debranched amylopectin or the gelatinisation temperature when compared to the parental line. However, significant changes were observed in the starch granule size with the plants expressing the construct having larger granules. The effect was more pronounced in the sex 1-1 background, and expression of two starch-binding domains linked in tandem had an even greater effect. Despite the starch granules being larger in lines expressing the starch-binding domain, no difference was seen in the starch content of the leaves when compared to parental lines. As the presence of the SBDs in the starch granule only altered granule size, and not other granule properties, they may provide an ideal anchor for targeting starch-modifying enzymes to the site of starch synthesis. This will allow the development of novel modifications of starch during synthesis.

SUMMARYStarch granule size distribution of wheat is an important characteristic that can affect its chemical composition and functionality. Phosphorus (P) fertilization has been studied extensively; however, little is known about its impact on starch granule size distribution in wheat. In the present study, two high-yield winter wheat cultivars were grown under different P fertilization conditions to evaluate its effect on starch granule size distribution and starch components in wheat grains at maturity. P fertilization resulted in a significant increase in the proportions (both by volume and by surface area) of B-type (<9·9 μm equivalent diameter (e.d.)) starch granules, with a reduction in those of A-type (>9·9 μm e.d.) starch granules. The P fertilization also increased starch content, amylose content and amylopectin content at maturity. However, P fertilization conditions significantly reduced the ratio of amylose to amylopectin, which showed a significant positive relationship with the volume proportion of granules 22·8–42·8 μm e.d. but was negatively related to the volume proportion of granules 2·8–9·9 μm e.d.

The research aimed to know physical and chemical characteristics of Canna edulis Kerr and Dioscorea hispida Dennst unmodified and modified starch with cross-linking method. This research was divided into two stages. The first stage of the research was characterization of starch from Canna edulis Kerr and Dioscorea hispida Dennst and the second stage of the research was processing of modified starch from Canna edulis Kerr and Dioscorea hispida Dennst through crosslinking by using POCl at the concentration of 0.04%(v/v), 0.08%(v/v), dan 0.12%(v/v). There was no specific researchdesign for the first stage of the research.  The collected data was tabulated. The research design for the second stage was non factorial completely randomized design with five replications. The results showed that C. edulis contained starch content (41.35%) and D. hispida (38.80%). C. edulis starch had amylose content (17.59%) and D. hispida starch 8.92%. The modification of C. edulis starch contained of phosphate (15.74 ppm) and D. hispida 9.54 ppm. The starch granule was found in C. edulis (20-50 μm) and starch granule was in D. hispida (4.23 to 4.52 μm). The physical and chemical characteristics of modified C. edulis and D. hispida starch were not similar to the unmodified starch. The amylose andstarch contents in the modified starch was reduced, on the other hand, the phosphate content was increased, whereas the granule size was unchanged.3Keywords: Canna edulis Kerr, cross-linking, Dioscorea hispida Dennst, phosphate, starch ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui karakteristik fisik dan kimia pati ganyong dan gadung sebelum dan setelah dimodifikasi dengan menggunakan metode ikatan silang (cross linking).

An investigation was undertaken to determine chemical and physical properties of potatoes which would explain the non-correlation of specific gravity with mealiness which has been encountered in some cases. It was shown that mealiness is not necessarily positively correlated with specific gravity of tubers but it was possible to correlate mealiness as determined by organoleptic methods with such factors as resistance to shear of boiled tubers and viscosity of suspensions of lyophilized tissue as measured by a Brabender Amylograph. Dry matter, starch content and amylose content were positively, sugar content negatively, correlated with mealiness. Crude protein content and starch granule size did not appear to be associated with mealiness. A negative correlation between polysaccharide content and mealiness was evident. The nature of the non-starch polysaccharide apparently present in the potato tuber and the molecular structure of the two starch components, amylose and amylopectin, deserve more extensive investigation.
