DNA MOLECULES ENCODING ENZYMES INVOLVED IN STARCH SYNTHESIS, VECTORS, BACTERIA, TRANSGENIC PLANT CELLS AND PLANTS CONTAINING THESE MOLECULES

摘要

The present invention relates to DNA molecules encoding enzymeswhich are involved in the starch synthesis of plants. Theseenzymes represent two different isotypes of the soluble starchsynthase as well as a starch granule-bound starch synthase.This invention furthermore relates to vectors, bacteria, as wellas to plant cells transformed with the DNA molecules describedand to plants regenerated from them.Furthermore, the invention relates to starch that can be isolatedfrom plants having an increased or reduced activity of theproteins described.
