Transcriptomic Analysis of Starch Biosynthesis in the Developing Grain of Hexaploid Wheat

Figure 3

Starch granule size distribution in developing grain. (a) Column 1—granules as percent of total volume; column 2—as percent of total number. (b) Relative granule proportions in terms of their % number (num.) and % volume (vol.). Starch granules bigger than 10  m in diameter were considered A-granules and granules smaller or equal to 10  m in diameter were considered B-granules, except at 7 DPA when all granules were considered A-granules. For volume calculations all granules bigger than 5  m in diameter were considered oblate spheroid with thickness of 5  m and varying equatorial diameters.
