Abstract
Plasmids are described having DNA sequences that after insertion into the genome of the plants cause changes in the carbohydrate concentration and the carbohydrate composition in regenerated plants. These changes can be obtained from a sequence of a branching enzyme that is located on these plasmids. This branching enzyme alters the amylose/amylopectin ratio in starch of the plants, especially in commercially used plants.
