Abstract

Disclosed is a nucleotide sequence encoding an effective portion of a class A starch branching enzyme (SBE) obtainable from potato plants, or a functional equivalent thereof, together with, inter alia, a corresponding polypeptide, a method of altering the characteristics of a plant, a plant having altered characteristics; and starch, particularly starch obtained from a potato plant, having novel properties.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified

1 . Starch extracted from a potato plant and having an amylose content of at least 35%, as judged by the iodometric assay method of Morrison &amp; Laignelet (1983 J. Cereal Science 1, 9-20).  
     
     
         2 - 16 . (canceled)  
     
     
         17 . Starch which as extracted from a potato plant, has a phosphorus content in excess of 2000 mg/100 grams dry weight starch.  
     
     
         16 - 26 . (canceled)  
     
     
         27 . A nucleotide sequence encoding an effective portion of a class A starch branching enzyme (SBE) obtainable from potato plants.  
     
     
         28 - 68 . (canceled)
