The present invention provides methods and compositions relating to altering the amount and/or morphology of starch in plants.
Claims55
An isolated nucleic acid comprising a polynucleotide that encodes a polypeptide of either one of SEQ ID NOS:
- 2 or 6.
An isolated nucleic acid comprising a polynucleotide having at least 73% sequence identity to either one of SEQ ID NOS:1 or 5, or a complement thereof, wherein the % sequence identity is based on the entire coding sequence and is determined by BLAST 2.0 using default parameters, wherein said polynucleotide encodes a starch synthase.
An isolated nucleic acid comprising a polynucleotide which hybridizes under high stringency conditions to a polynucleotide having the sequence set forth in either one of SEQ ID NOS:1 or 5.
An isolated nucleic acid comprising a polynucleotide comprising the sequence set forth in either one of SEQ ID NOS:1 or 5, or a complement thereof.
An isolated nucleic acid comprising a polynucleotide encoding a starch synthase from Cucurma zeodaria or a complement thereof.
