Starch biosynthetic genes and enzymes are expressed and active in the absence of starch accumulation in sugar beet tap-root

Table 2 Expression levels of genes encoding functions in starch degradation in parsnip and sugar beet tap-root

Number of tap-root Illumina HiSeq 2000 reads per million reads (RPM) mapped on reference assemblies of P. sativa (Psa) and B. vulgaris (Bvu) corresponding to different cDNAs of functions involved in starch degradation. The closest homologous Arabidopsis thaliana loci by BLASTx are given in the table. GWD/PWD – α-glucan, water dikinase/phosphoglucan, water dikinase, DPE – disproportionating enzyme.
