Studies on the Biosynthesis of Starch Granules. Part 5. Properties of the Starch Components of Normal Barley,and Barley with Sturch of High Amylose-Content,During Growth

Changes in the molecular components of barley starch, from related genotypes of barley differing in amylose-content, have been investigated over the period of reserve-starch deposition in the plants. Striking similarities in the changes in amylose-contents, and in the fine structure of component amylose and amylopectin fractions, were observed over this period, despite the large differences in the types of starch.
