Abstract
A method for affecting enzymatic activity in a starch producing organism is described. The method comprises expressing in the organism: (a) a first nucleotide which comprises, partially or completely, a first intron of a gene encoding a class A starch branching enzyme in an antisense orientation, wherein the first nucleotide sequence does not contain a sequence that is antisense to an exon sequence naturally associated with the first intron, (b) together with a second nucleotide sequence which comprises, partially or completely, a second intron of a class B starch branching enzyme in an antisense or sense orientation. Also described are antisense sequences, constructs, vectors, transformed cells, and transgenic organisms.
