BARLEY WITH ALTERED BRANCHING ENZYME ACTIVITY AND STARCH AND STARCH CONTAINING PRODUCTS WITH AN INCREASED AMYLOSE CONTENT

摘要

Barley having a reduced level of SBEIIa activity produces grain having a high relative amylose content. The barley might additionally have reduced levels of SBEIIb activity. The barley grain of this invention can be of a non-shrunken phenotype despite a lesion in the amylopectin synthesis pathway.
