Nucleic acid molecules encoding enzymes from wheat which are involved in starch synthesis

Nucleotide sequences encoding enzymes that alter the carbohydrate concentration and composition in plants are described. The sequences encode branching enzymes which alter the amylose/amylopectin ratio in the starch of plants.

Nucleotide sequences encoding enzymes that alter the carbohydrate concentration and composition in plants

Nucleic acid molecules are described encoding an R1-protein from wheat and methods and recombinant DNA molecules for the production of transgenic plant cells and plants synthesizing a modified starch. Additionally, the plant cells and plants resulting from those methods as well as the starch obtainable therefrom are described.

Nucleic acid molecules from wheat, transgenic plant cells and plants and the thereof for the production of modified starch

The present invention relates to nucleic acid molecules encoding enzymes which are involved in the starch synthesis in plants. These enzymes are starch synthases from wheat. The invention further relates to vectors and host cells containing said nucleic acid molecules, in particular transformed plant cells and plants regenerated from these cells, which exhibit an increased or a reduced activity of the described starch synthases.
