Resumen
In our opinion, no pressing biological evidence
has been presented by Barratt et al. to challenge the current
paradigm on cellulose and starch metabolism involving SUS
activity. In this context, we must emphasize that Angeles-Núñez
and Tiessen have shown that SUS2 and SUS3 are required
for channeling carbon toward ADP-glucose and starch in
Arabidopsis seeds. ...
