  • Transgenic plants synthesizing high amylose starch
    Patent number: 7842853
    Abstract: Transgenic plant cells and plants are described which synthesise a starch which is modified in comparison with corresponding wild type plant cells and plants. The plant cells and plants described show a reduced activity of R1, BEI and BEII proteins. Furthermore, modified starches as well as methods for their production are described.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 25, 2006
    Date of Patent: November 30, 2010
    Assignee: Bayer Cropscience AG
    Inventors: Ursula Uwer, Claus Frohberg, Jens Pilling, Volker Landschütze

  • Monocotyledon plant cells and plants which synthesise modified starch
    Publication number: 20030110534
    Abstract: The present invention relates to monocotyledon plant cells and plants which are genetically modified, wherein the genetic modification consists of the introduction of an extraneous nucleic acid molecule which codes for a protein with the biological activity of an R1 protein. The present invention further relates to means and methods for the production thereof. Plant cells and plants of this type synthesise a modified starch, which is characterized in that it has an increased phosphate content and/or a modified phoshorylation pattern and/or an increased final viscosity in an RVA profile and/or a reduced peak temperature in DSC analysis and/or an increased gel strength in the texture analysis compared with starch from corresponding non-genetically modified monocotyledon plants. Therefore, the present invention also relates to the starch which is synthesized from the plant cells and plants according to the invention, and to methods of producing said starch.
