Patent number: 9752157Abstract: The invention provides cereal plants having a high level of fructan useful for the production of a range of food, beverage, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products. The invention provides methods of producing high-fructan products from plants modified to comprise a reduced level of an endogenous polypeptide with starch synthase activity, and products so produced. In some embodiments, plants are modified by introduction of an agent such as a nucleic acid molecule which down regulates endogenous starch synthase II gene expression.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2011Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: COMMONWEALTH SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH ORGANISATIONInventors: Colin Leslie Dow Jenkins, Bryan Charles Clarke, Zhongyi Li, Matthew Kennedy Morell

Publication number: 20160183568Abstract: Barley with reduced SSII activity has a starch structure with reduced amylopectin content and a consequent high relative amylose content. Additionally the grain has can have a relatively high ? glucan content. The structure of the starch may also be altered in a number of ways which can be characterised by having a low gelatinsation temperature but with reduced swelling. The viscosity of gelatinised starch of the starch is also reduced. There is a chain length distribution of the amylopectin content and a low crystallinity of the starch. The starch is also characterised by having high levels of lipid associated starch exhibiting very high levels of V form starch crystallinity. The dietary fibre content of the starch is high. This has desirable dietary and food processing characteristics.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2016Publication date: June 30, 2016Applicant: Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research OrganisationInventors: Matthew Kennedy Morell, David Topping, Ian Leslie Batey
