Overlapping functions of the starch synthases SSII and SSIII in amylopectin biosynthesis in <it>Arabidopsis</it>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The biochemical mechanisms that determine the molecular architecture of amylopectin are central in plant biology because they allow long-term storage of reduced carbon. Amylopectin structure imparts the ability to form semi-crystalli...
