Abstract
The present invention relates to DNA sequences which, on the codogenic strand, code plant debranching enzymes whose transcripts formed in transgenic plants code new proteins with the enzymatic activity of debranching enzymes which in transgenic plants reduce the degree of branching of amylopectin starch. The invention also relates to DNA sequences which on the codogenic strand code plant debranching enzymes whose transcripts formed in transgenic plants prevent the synthesis of proteins with the enzymatic activity of debranching enzymes, which in transgenic plants increases the degree of branching of amylopectin starch, and also to recombinant plasmids on which these DNA sequences are localized and which can be introduced into plant cells and plants.
