Involvement of five catalytically active Arabidopsis β‐amylases in leaf starch metabolism and plant growth

Abstract Starch degradation in chloroplasts requires β‐amylase (BAM) activity, but in Arabidopsis, there are nine BAM proteins, five of which are thought to be catalytic. Although single‐gene knockouts revealed the necessity of BAM3 for starch degradation, contributions of other BAMs are poorly unde...
