Amylogenesis
Definition
The biochemical process of formation and biosynthesis of starch within plant cells. Amylogenesis takes place inside the amyloplasts through the successive polymerization of glucose molecules, being an essential structural metabolic stage for storing energy derived from photosynthesis.
