In a new paradigm for cereal chemistry, we will link structural and functional genomics to a mechanistic understanding of starch polymer structure. By using our novel characterization techniques, we will obtain the first data on the complex multiscale structure of starch in cereal grains that will be sensitive to the mechanisms of starch biosynthesis. These results will enable us to identify the genetic and environmental factors that, separately and together, control starch structure in a range of cereals. This knowledge will provide a powerful tool for plant breeders and biotechnologists to produce cereals with improved properties.

在谷物化学的新范式中，我们将把结构和功能基因组学与淀粉聚合物结构的机械理解联系起来。通过使用我们新的表征技术，我们将获得谷物中淀粉复杂多尺度结构的第一批数据，这些数据对淀粉生物合成的机制敏感。这些结果将使我们能够确定遗传和环境因素，分别和共同控制淀粉结构的谷物范围。这些知识将为植物育种家和生物技术专家提供一个强大的工具，以生产具有改进特性的谷物。
