The role of transitory starch in C(3), CAM, and C(4) metabolism and opportunities for engineering leaf starch accumulation

Essentially all plants store starch in their leaves during the day and break it down the following night. This transitory starch accumulation acts as an overflow mechanism when the sucrose synthesis capacity is limiting, and transitory starch also acts as a carbon store to provide sugar at night. Tr...
