    • Figure 1. 

      The composition, biosynthetic pathways, and key enzymes for the three major classes of dietary fiber in wheat. GT47, GT43, GT61, and GT2 are glycosyltransferases. CslF, CslH, and CslJ are Cellulose-synthase-like (Csl) genes. GBSSI, granule-bound starch synthase I. SSI to SSIV, starch synthase I to IV. SBE, starch-branching enzyme. ISA, isoamylase-type debranching enzyme. LD, limit dextrinase. The blue ellipses represent UDP-D-xylose, and the green diamonds represent UDP- arabinopyranose.
