The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of amylopectin, the (1,4) linked alpha glucose units with alpha-(1,6) linkages. An process which modulate the frequency, rate or extent of starch biosynthesis, the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of starch. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of glucans, polysaccharides consisting only of glucose residues. The chemical reactions and pathways involving starch, the most important reserve polysaccharide in plants. It is a glucan consisting of two components, amylose and amylopectin, which are both glucose homopolymers. Starch is synthesized as a temporary storage form of carbon and can be catabolized to produce sucrose. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of polysaccharides, polymers of more than 10 monosaccharide residues joined by glycosidic linkages, occurring at the level of an individual cell. The chemical reactions and pathways involving glucans, polysaccharides consisting only of glucose residues. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of starch, the most important reserve polysaccharide in plants.
