Example sentences for: starch

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

  • Although many studies have examined the effects of sugar levels on rate of starch breakdown by germinating cereal seeds, little effort has been devoted to characterizing the effects of sugar levels on lipid breakdown by germinating oilseed plants.

  • 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.

  • Amino-acid substitutions were identified that predicted pI values for the alleles that correlated with their mobility on starch gels (Figure 1).

  • These genes include the GAL, SUC2, MAL and STA genes, required, respectively, for the utilization of galactose, sucrose/raffinose, maltose, and starch.
