Detailed explanation-1: -Amyloplasts are plastids or organelles responsible for the storage of starch granules. The rate of starch synthesis in cereal grains is one of the factors affecting both grain size and yield (Kumar and Singh, 1980).
Detailed explanation-2: -Amyloplasts also synthesize transitory starch. This type of starch is stored temporarily in chloroplasts to be broken down and used for energy at night when photosynthesis does not occur. Transitory starch is found primarily in tissues where photosynthesis occurs, such as leaves.
Detailed explanation-3: -Amyloplasts are specialized organelles responsible for the synthesis and storage of starch.
Detailed explanation-4: -Amyloplasts are plant-specific organelles responsible for starch biosynthesis and storage.
