Abstract
Compositions, foodstuff and methods are provide herein from cereal plant or a part thereof, wherein the plant or part thereof has an altered (I,3;1,4)-p-glucan content as compared to a wild-type cereal plant or part thereof, wherein said, plant or part thereof carries one or more mutations in the CslF6 gene, wherein said mutated. CslF6 gene encodes a mutant CslF6 polypeptide, wherein said mutant CslF6 comprises at least one substitution, addition or deletion of an amino acid in a switch motif of CslF6, wherein the switch motif comprises SEQ ID NO: 14.
