Abstract
The present invention relates to a nucleic acid sequence encoding an enzyme of the starch biosynthetic pathway in a cereal plant, wherein the enzyme is selected from the group consisting of starch branching enzyme I, starch branching enzyme II, starch soluble synthase I, and debranching enzyme, with the provisio that the enzyme is not soluble starch synthase I of rice, or starch branching enzyme I of rice or maize.
Claims11
An isolated nucleic acid molecule that codes for a starch branching enzyme II, comprising a nucleotide sequence which hybridizes at 42° C. in 2×SSC for 16 h to the SBE II-D1 gene having the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:
- 10, wherein the translation product of the nucleotide sequence is 768 amino acids in length and has starch branching enzyme II activity.
