DNA MOLECULES ENCODING ENZYMES INVOLVED IN STARCH SYNTHESIS,VECTORS, BACTERIA, TRANSGENIC PLANT CELLS AND PLANTS CONTAINING THESE MOLECULES

摘要

DNA molecules code for enzymes involved in starch synthesis in plants. These enzymes are two different isoforms of soluble starch synthase and a starch granule-bound starch synthase. Also disclosed are vectors, bacteria, plant cells transformed by said DNA molecules and regenerable plants derived therefrom, as well as starch that can be extracted from plants containing said proteins with an increased or reduced activity.
