WHEAT WITH ALTERED BRANCHING ENZYME ACTIVITY AND STARCH AND STARCH CONTAINING PRODUCTS DERIVED THEREFORM

摘要

Wheat having a reduced level of SBEIIa activity, that may have a relative hi gh amylose content. Wheat having a mutant SBEIIa gene in the A genome. The whea t might additionally have reduced levels of SBEIIb activity. The wheat grain o f this invention can be of a non-shrunken phenotype despite a lesion in the amylopectin synthesis pathway, and may also have a high relative amylose content.
