Method for modifying a plant producing starch, and to produce starch having at least one caracteru00cdstica modified nucleic acid, protein of fusu00e7o, cu00c9lula, a plant or a part thereof, starch, and food and / or industrial product.

摘要

The invention provides a method for modifying a starch producing plant and a method for producing starch having at least one altered characteristic. The invention particularly provides a method for producing starch comprising introducing a nucleic acid comprising an amylosucrase encoding sequence functionally linked to a granule-targeting sequence and functionally linked to a promoter sequence active in a starch storage organ of said plant into suitable plant material of said plant and producing a plant from said material, further comprising allowing said plant to grow and harvesting starch from said plant. The invention further provides starch having an altered characteristic and plants and parts thereof and products comprising such starch. Furthermore, the invention provides fusion proteins and cells comprising a fusion protein.
