Table 2 Initial concentrations of internal metabolites

Internal Metabolites	Symbol	Sub-cellular Location	Initial Concentration (μM)
Debranched starch	Starch_db_CS	Chloroplast Stroma	0
Maltose (G2)	Maltose_CY	Cytosol	10
Maltose	Maltose_CS	Chloroplast Stroma	10
Maltotriose (G3)	Maltotriose_CS	Chloroplast Stroma	100
Maltopentaose (G5)	Maltopentaose_CS	Chloroplast Stroma	1000
Glucose	Glucose_CS	Chloroplast Stroma	10
Glucose	Glucose_CY	Cytosol	10
Arabinogalactan (AG)	AG_CY	Cytosol	10000
Glucosylated Arabinogalactan	GlcAG_CY	Cytosol	10000

Evolution from these initial values gives rise to the reference steady state shown in Figs. 2 and 3. One of the underlying assumptions in our model is that the initial concentration of debranched starch is always zero.
