GENETICALLY MODIFIED PLANT CELLS AND PLANTS WITH AN INCREASED ACTIVITY OF AN AMYLOSUCRASE PROTEIN AND A BRANCHING ENZYME

摘要

Transgenic plant cells and plants with an increased activity of an amylosucrase protein and an increased activity of a branching enzyme are provided. Such plant cells and plants synthesize a modified starch and/or synthesize alpha -1,6 branched alpha -1,4-glucans with a modified branching degree in O-6-position and/or give a higher yield in comparison wiht corresponding genetically non-modified wild type plants (plant cells).
