1 beta-amylase 1 (BAM1) degrades transitory starch to sustain proline biosynthesis during drought stress. Starch beta-amylase 1 Arabidopsis thaliana
2 beta-amylase 1 (BAM1) degrades transitory starch to sustain proline biosynthesis during drought stress. Starch beta-amylase 1 Arabidopsis thaliana
3 A second beta-amylase isoform, beta-amylase-1 (BAM1), is involved in diurnal starch degradation in guard cells, a process that sustains stomata opening. Starch beta-amylase 1 Arabidopsis thaliana
4 However, BAM1 also contributes to diurnal starch turnover in mesophyll cells under osmotic stress. Starch beta-amylase 1 Arabidopsis thaliana
5 We show here that leaves of osmotically-stressed bam1 plants accumulated more starch and fewer soluble sugars than both wild-type and bam3 plants during the day. Starch beta-amylase 1 Arabidopsis thaliana
6 Taken together, these data strongly suggest that carbon skeletons deriving from BAM1 diurnal degradation of transitory starch support the biosynthesis of proline required to face the osmotic stress. Starch beta-amylase 1 Arabidopsis thaliana
