Question

How do we destarch a plant?

Answer 1

Destarching of a plant:

1. Destarching means removing all the stored food i.e. starch from a plant.
2. A plant can be destarched, if it is kept in a dark room for 1-2 days.
3. Doing this will ensure that no more photosynthesis occurs in the plant.
4. Lack of starch will compel the plant to use the stored starch and thus the plant will get destarched.
