Enzymes involved in starch biosynthesis in sweetpotato
Nowadays,sweetpotato is more and more used in industries,such as papermaking,textile and packing because of its high starch content. Therefore, increasing the content of starch is a main objective for breeding new sweetpotato lines. In this paper,five key enzymes responsible for starch biosynthesis, ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase),granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS), soluble starch syn-thase (SSS),starch branching enzyme (SBE) and starch debranching enzyme (DBE) ,are introduced and their recent research advances in sweetpotato are reviewed. While there are several recent reports on AGPase,GBSS and SBE,few reports are available on SSS and DBE. More researches are required to gain further insight into the five key enzymes and to provide theoretical foundation for breeding high-starch sweetpotato lines.
