Estimating the term…
Abstract
Nucleic acid molecules are described encoding a starch granule-bound protein from rice as well as methods and recombinant DNA molecules for the production of transgenic plant cells and plants synthesizing a modified starch. Moreover, the plant cells and plants resulting from those methods as well as the starch obtainable therefrom are described.
Claims38
A nucleic acid molecule encoding an R1-protein selected from the group consisting of:
- (a) a nucleic acid molecule encoding a protein comprising the amino acid sequence of Seq. ID No. 2;
- (b) a nucleic acid molecule comprising the coding region of the nucleotide sequences of Seq. ID No. 1;
- (c) a nucleic acid molecule encoding a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert of plasmid DSM 12439;
- (d) a nucleic acid molecule comprising the coding region of the cDNA insert of plasmid DSM 12439;
- (e) a nucleic acid molecule that hybridizes to the complementary strand of a nucleic acid molecule of any one of (a) to (d);
- and
- (f) a nucleic acid molecule, wherein the sequence of said molecule differs from the sequence of a nucleic acid molecule of (e) due to the degeneracy of the genetic code;
- as well as the respective complementary strand of such a nucleic acid molecule and intervening sequences of an R1-gene naturally occurring in rice.
