  • Genes encoding wheat starch synthases and uses thereof
    Patent number: 7700826
    Abstract: The present invention provides isolated nucleic acid molecules encoding wheat starch synthases, and probes and primers derived therefrom, which are useful in the modification of plant starch content and/or composition, and for screening plant lines to determine the presence of natural and/or induced mutations in starch synthase genes which affect starch content and/or composition. More particularly, the isolated nucleic acid molecules of the present invention further provide for the screening-assisted breeding of plants having desirable starch content and/or composition, in addition to providing for the direct genetic manipulation of plant starch content and/or composition.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 21, 2005
    Date of Patent: April 20, 2010
    Assignees: Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Ressearch Organization, Biogemma SAS
    Inventors: Matthew Morell, Zhongyi Li, Sadequr Rahman, Rudolph Appels
