Popis: | The diurnal changes in the expression profiles of starch synthesis related enzymes (SSREs) has been previously studied in transitory starches, while its influences on storage starch molecular structures in the rice endosperm during seed development have not been elucidated. In this study, the changes in the transcript levels of starch synthesis related genes (SSRGs), the protein abundances and enzyme activities of SSREs as well as starch molecular structures in rice endosperm at 10 days after flowering (DAF) over the diurnal cycle were analyzed. It was found that the expression profiles of SSRG and the protein contents of SSREs displayed different diurnal patterns between two indica rice varieties with medium- and high-amylose content (AC), respectively. The expression levels of SSRGs were higher in the light time, and most SSREs also accumulated during this period except debranching enzymes. Amylose synthesis displayed distinct diurnal patterns in two rice varieties, which is attributed to the diurnal changes in the protein content of granule-bound starch synthase I (GBSSI), but amylopectin chain-length distributions (CLDs) remained unaltered due to its vast numbers of branches. The results provide the first step to understand the roles of each enzyme isoform involved in starch synthesis in response to diurnal regulation in rice endosperm. |
