Abstract
This invention relates to glycogen biosynthesis enzymes in plants. In particular, this invention is directed to plant cells having a DNA sequence encoding a glycogen biosynthesis enzyme integrated in its genome as the result of genetic engineering. Cells containing a DNA or RNA (mRNA) sequence encoding the enzyme as well as cells containing the enzyme are also provided. Plants and, more particularly, plant parts may also be obtained which contain glycogen biosynthesis enzyme sequences and/or containing such glycogen biosynthesis enzymes.
