Abstract
There are many important uses of starch in food and non-food sectors. Researchers are working to better understand the biosynthesis of starch so that they can increase starch yield and improve starch quality. This review article presents current knowledge about the synthesis pathway, the enzymes involved, and regulation of key enzymes.
