The biochemical process by which plants manufacture and build starch from glucose.
From amylo- (starch) + synthesis (building or combining); combining Greek roots describing the construction of starch molecules.
Amylosynthesis is how plants hoard solar energy—they use photosynthesis to make glucose from sunlight, then amylosynthesis builds that glucose into starch granules for long-term storage, creating a biological battery for later use.
