Supplemental Figure S1. Scheme of the starch biosynthesis pathway in grapevine woody tissues.G6-Pi is transported into the amyloplast by the action of a GPT and converted into G1-Pi by PGM. Following this reaction, G1-Pi and ATP are combined into ADP-gluc, by the action of AGPase, and its glucosyl moiety is added to the starch granule by the action of starch synthases. ADP-gluc, ADP-Glucose; AGPase, ADP-glucopyrophosphorylase; G1-Pi, glucose-1-phosphate; G6-Pi, glucose-6-phosphate; GPT, glucose-6-phosphate/phosphate translocator; NTT, plastidic nucleotide transporter; PGM, phosphoglucomutase; Pi, inorganic phosphate; PPi, inorganic pyrophosphate.
