1 The gene encoding the catalytically inactive beta-amylase BAM4 involved in starch breakdown in Arabidopsis leaves is expressed preferentially in vascular tissues in source and sink organs. Starch beta-amylase 4 Arabidopsis thaliana
2 These results show that even though BAM3 and BAM4 genes apparently interact genetically in leaf starch metabolism, BAM4 is preferentially expressed in non-photosynthetic vascular tissue, so revealing a potentially greater level of complexity in the control of starch breakdown than had previously been recognised. Starch beta-amylase 4 Arabidopsis thaliana
