Abstract
The present invention relates to genetically modified plant cells and plants in which the genetic modification leads to a reduction in GBSSI, SSIII and BEI activity in comparison to the activity in corresponding wild type plant cells or wild type plants. Furthermore, the present invention relates to methods for the production of such plant cells and plants. The present invention also relates to the starch produced by the plant cells of the invention or plants of the invention, as well as to methods for the production of this starch and derivatised starch.
Claims49
Genetically modified plant cells comprising
- (1) a first foreign nucleic acid molecule, wherein said first foreign nucleic acid molecule reduces the expression of at least one endogenous gene encoding a GBSSI protein;
- (2) a second foreign nucleic acid molecule, wherein said second foreign nucleic acid molecule reduces the expression of at least one endogenous gene encoding a SSIII protein;
- and
- (3) a third foreign nucleic acid molecule, wherein said third foreign nucleic acid molecule reduces the expression of at least one endogenous gene encoding a BEI protein.
