BP

polysaccharide catabolic process

The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of a polysaccharide, a polymer of many (typically more than 10) monosaccharide residues linked glycosidically.

GO:0005737

CC

cytoplasm

All of the contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.

GO:0005829

CC

cytosol

The part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes.

GO:0005983

BP

starch catabolic process

The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of starch, the most important reserve polysaccharide in plants.

GO:0009507

CC

chloroplast

A chlorophyll-containing plastid with thylakoids organized into grana and frets, or stroma thylakoids, and embedded in a stroma.

GO:0016161

MF

beta-amylase activity

Catalysis of the reaction: (1,4-alpha-D-glucosyl)(n+1) + H2O = (1,4-alpha-D-glucosyl)(n-1) + alpha-maltose. This reaction is the hydrolysis of 1,4-alpha-glucosidic linkages in polysaccharides so as to remove successive maltose units from the non-reducing

GO:0080027

BP

response to herbivore

Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a stimulus from a herbivore.

GO:0102229

MF

amylopectin maltohydrolase activity

Catalysis of the reaction: n H2O + an exposed unphosphorylated, unbranched malto-oligosaccharide tail on amylopectin <=> amylopectin + maltose.
