Example sentences for: starch

How can you use “starch” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Although numerous studies have shown that high concentrations of exogenous sugars repress the ability of germinating cereal seeds to mobilize the starch they use as energy reserves [ 13 23 ] , little work of a similar nature had previously been conducted on oilseed plants, such as Arabidopsis.

  • As alpha-amylases play a critical role in starch metabolism, the regulation of alpha-amylase activity has formed a major focus of studies on starch metabolism.

  • I do think, however, that some consideration should be given to a statutory revenue cap as one means of adding a bit of starch to the spine cost containment.

  • Soluble sugars, such as glucose and sucrose, have been postulated to act as signaling molecules that help regulate a wide variety of plant developmental and physiological processes [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ] . These processes include flowering [ 14 15 16 17 ] , seed germination [ 18 19 20 ] and photosynthesis [ 21 22 ] . One of the most thoroughly characterized sugar-regulated processes is the breakdown of starch by germinating cereal seeds.

  • Exposure to exogenous sugars, such as glucose and sucrose, has long been known to retard rates of starch mobilization in germinating cereal seeds [ 13 23 ] . Therefore, it was of interest to determine whether exogenous sugars also affect rates of lipid mobilization in germinating seeds of plants, such as Arabidopsis thaliana , that store their energy reserves in the form of lipids.
