Show more >Starch represents one of the primary products of photosynthesis in the chloroplast and plays the role of storage polysaccharide in most green algae and plants. The green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has been used for years as a microbial model to explore the intricate pathway of starch synthesis in the green lineage. This chapter emphasizes the use of Chlamydomonas to probe functions involved in starch synthesis, degradation and granule morphology. In addition, particular attention is given to the evolution of the green lineage specific complexity of starch metabolism, explaining the basic similarities and differences between green algae and land plants as well as between the latter and the red algae and glaucophytes. Applied aspects and future prospects are discussed.Show less >
