Exploring the effects of dietary inulin in rainbow trout fed a high-starch, 100% plant-based diet
BackgroundHigh dietary carbohydrates can spare protein in rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ) but may affect growth and health. Inulin, a prebiotic,...

Starch turnover is stimulated by nitric oxide in embryogenic cultures of Araucaria angustifolia
Embryogenesis is a complex developmental process dependent on the intercommunication of coordinated signals. Among these signals, carbohydrate...

Resistant starch: Implications of dietary inclusion on gut health and growth in pigs: a review
Starch from cereal grains, pulse grains, and tubers is a major energy substrate in swine rations constituting up to 55% of the diet. In pigs, starch...

Starch branching enzymes as putative determinants of postharvest quality in horticultural crops
Starch branching enzymes (SBEs) are key determinants of the structure and amount of the starch in plant organs, and as such, they have the capacity...
