Generally, enzymes in the starch biosynthesis pathway exist in many isoforms, contributing to the difficulties in the dissection of their specific roles in controlling starch properties. In this study, we present an algorithm as an alternative method to classify isoforms of starch biosynthesis enzymes based on their conserved secondary structures. Analysis of the predicted secondary structure of plant soluble starch synthase I (SSI) and soluble starch synthase II (SSII) demonstrates that these two classes of isoform can be reclassified into three subsets, SS-A, SS-B and SS-C, according to the differences in the secondary structure of the protein at C-terminus. SS-A reveals unique structural features that are conserved only in cereal plants, while those of SS-B are found in all plants and SS-C is restricted to barley. These findings enable us to increase the accuracy in the estimation of evolutionary distance between isoforms of starch synthases. Moreover, it facilitates the elucidation of correlations between the functions of each enzyme isoforms and the properties of starches. Our secondary structure analysis tool can be applicable to study the functions of other plant enzyme isoforms of economical importance.

To improve the fermentation characteristics of the haploid starch-fermenting recombinant yeast strain K114/YIpMS$\Delta$R(LEU2/URA3) secreting both $\alpha$-amylase and glucoamylase was rare-mated with polyploid industrial yeast Saccharomyces sp. K35. The K35 strain had good fermentation-characteristics such as ethanol-tolerance, high temperature and sugar-tolerance, and high fermentation rate. Among the resulting 66 hybrids, the best strain RH51 was selected. The RH51 exhibited amylolytic activity of K114/YIpMS$\Delta$R(LEU2/URA3) as well as ethanol and sugar tolerance of K35. The optimum temperature of hybrid RH51 for starch fermentation was 34$\circ$C which was same as that of K35 but different from that (30$\circ$C) of K114/YIpMS$\Delta$R(LEU2/URA3). The optimum pH was 5.0. The optimum size of inoculum was 2% as the pellet (w/v) of yeast cells. The hybrid strain RH51 produced 7.0% ethanol (w/v) from 20% (w/v) soluble starch while K35 formed almost no ethanol, 0.3% (w/v). RH51 strain produced 7.5% (w/v) ethanol after 8 days in a 2.5 l fermenter containing 800 ml of 20% (w/v) soluble starch. The residual starch content in the fermentation medium was 1.68% (w/v), and therefore almost all the starch was fermented completely.

Hydrocolloids have many applications in foods including their use in dysphagia diets. We aimed to evaluate whether hydrocolloids in foods affect the digestibility of starch and protein, and their effects on antioxidant capacity. The thickening hydrocolloids: locust bean gum and carboxymethyl cellulose, and the gel-forming agents: agar agar, konjacglucomannan, and Hot & Soft Plus were blended with corn starch and soy protein, skim milk, or grape juice and were examined for their in vitro-digestability by comparing the reducing sugar and trichloroacetic acid (TCA)-soluble peptide, for antioxidant capacity by total polyphenol contents and the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity. The hydrocolloids resulted in a decrease in starch digestibility with the gel-forming agents. Hydrocolloids diminished TCA-soluble peptides in skim milk compared to soy protein with the exception of locust bean gum and decreased free radical scavenging capacities and total phenolic contents in grape juice. Our findings may provide evidence for the use of hydrocolloids for people at risk of nutritional deficiencies such as dysphagia patients.

Two rice cultivars (Oryza sativa L.), Hwa-seongbyeo of Japonica type and Taebackbyeo of Indica/Japonica type, were cultivated with hydroponic culture to examine nitrogen effects on the growth responses, contents and utilizations of carbohydrates, and the ripening velocity of grains with three different N levels. Plant height and tiller number were clearly increased to 80 ppm N level compared to 40 ppm N level and then they were slightly decreased in N level of 120 ppm. Higher dry weights were appeared with 80 ppm N level than did with other N levels, showing statistically differences in both cultivars and N levels, while dry weight of roots was heavier with decreasing the N levels. Therefore, T/R ratios were not significantly different among N levels, although there was statistically differences between rice cultivars. After the flowering stage, higher water-soluble carbohydrate (WSC) and water-insoluble carbohydrate (WISC) were contained in stem compared with other parts, showing that WISC of sheath and stem, unlike WSC, was significantly different among N levels. Starch of grain, WISC, was remarkedly increased from 3.0% at just after the flowering to 52.0% and 75.0% at 15 and 30 day after the flowering, respectively, showing that lower N application had faster accumulation of starch in rice grains. N would affect the contents of carbohydrates of each tissue, and starch accumulation in rice grains.

토양으로부터 역가높은 CGTase를 분비하는 호알칼리성 미생물을 분리하였으며, 동정 결과 Bacillus circulans로 판정되었다. 배양액 중의 CGTase를 ammonium sulfate 침전, DEAE-Sephadex 그리고 Sephadex G-100 column chromatography로 분리, 정제하여 단일 단백질 band를 얻었다. 정제된 CGTase의 분자량은 약 93,000, 최적 pH와 온도는 6.0, $50^{\circ}C$였으며, pH와 온도안정성은 5.5-11, $65^{\circ}C$까지였다. Soluble starch를 기질로 할 때의 $V_{max}$ 와 $K_{m}$ 값은 각각 0.16$\mu$mole $\beta$-CD/min, 14.3mg soluble starch/mi이였고 24시간 반응액의 $\alpha$-：$\beta$-:${\gamma}$-CD 의 생성비율은 1：8.1：1.9로서 $\beta$-CD를 우선적으로 합성하였다. 기질로 glucose와 maltose를 사용하였을 때 CD합성작용이 없었으며, sweet potato 그리고 cornstarch를 사용하였을 때 가장 높은 CD합성작용을 보였다. 어느 수준 이상의 과다한 CGTase 첨가경우에는 $\alpha$-CD생성이 급격히 증가하였다. 또한 정제된 CGTase는 stevioside에로의 당전이성을 갖고 있었다.

Plastic film houses are directly associated with increases in plant growth and yield of vegetable crops through a year round cultivation, however, at the same time temperature stresses are one of fates which are difficult to avoid during crop growth. The objective of this study was to examine the translocation and distribution of minerals (N, P, K) and carbohydrates as well as seasonal fluctuation of mineral uptake and carbohydrate production in cucumber plant grown under moderately high temperature. The temperature treatments consisted of 2-layers film houses (optimal temp.) and 3-layers (high temp.). Shoot growth of cucumber plants were linearly increased until 14 weeks after transplanting (WAT) without any significant difference between both temperatures, and the slowdown was observed from 16 WAT. The level of soluble sugar and starch was slightly greater in optimal temperature compared to the high. Cumulative accumulation of soluble sugar was significantly different before and after 12 WAT in both treatments, whereas starch level represented a constant increase. Monthly production of soluble sugar reached the peak between 12 to 16 WAT, and starch peaked between 4 to 8 WAT and 12 to 16 WAT. Total uptake of N, P and K in optimal and high temperature conditions was $18.4g\;plant^{-1}$ and 17.6 for N, 4.7 and 5.1 for P, and 37.7 and 36.2 for K, respectively, and the pattern of monthly N uptake between optimal and high temperatures was greater in early growth stage, whereas was greater in mid growth stage in both P and K. Thus, this study suggests that moderately high temperature influences much greater to photosynthesis and carbohydrate production than plant biomass and mineral uptake. On the basis of the present result, it is required to indentify analysis of respiration rates from plant and soil by constantly increasing temperature conditions and field studies where elevated temperatures are monitored and manipulated.
