  • Nucleic acid molecules coding for an ⁇ -glucosidase plants that synthesize a modified starch, process for producing the plants, their use and the modified starch
  • the present invention relates to nucleic acid molecules which encode a protein with the activity of an ⁇ -glucosidase from potato and to processes for the production of transgenic plant cells and plants which synthesize a modified starch. Furthermore, the present invention relates to vectors and host cells which contain the nucleic acid molecules according to the invention, the plant cells and plants resulting from the processes according to the invention, the starch synthesized by the plant cells and plants according to the invention and processes for producing this starch.
  • polysaccharides are important, renewable raw materials from plants.
  • starch which is one of the most important storage substances in higher plants, plays a central role in the polysaccharides.
  • the potato plays an important role in starch production.
  • the polysaccharide starch is a polymer made up of chemically uniform building blocks, the glucose molecules. However, it is a very complex mixture of different molecular forms differ with regard to their degree of polymerization and the occurrence of branches of the glucose chains. Starch is therefore not a uniform raw material. A distinction is made in particular between amylose starch, an essentially unbranched polymer composed of ⁇ -1,4-glycosidically linked glucose molecules, and amylopectin starch, which in turn is a complex mixture of differently branched glucose chains. The branches come about through the occurrence of additional ⁇ -1, 6-glycosidic linkages. In typical plants used for starch production, such as corn or potatoes, the synthesized starch consists of approximately 25% amylose starch and approximately 75% amylopectin starch.
  • the molecular structure of the starch which is largely determined by the degree of branching, the amylose / amylopectin ratio, the average length and distribution of the side chains and the presence of phosphate groups, is crucial for important functional properties of the starch or its aqueous solutions .

  • Important enzymes involved in starch metabolism are e.g. the branching enzymes, ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylases, starch-bound starch synthases, soluble starch synthases, debranching enzymes, disproportionation enzymes, plastidary starch phosphorylases, the R1 enzymes, amylases or glucoside.
  • the object of the present invention is to develop further or alternative genetic engineering approaches for modifying the starch metabolism in starch-forming plants (for example rye, barley, oats, maize, wheat, millet, sago, rice, pea, marker pea, cassava, potato, tomato, rape, Soybean, hemp, flax, sunflower, cow pea, mung bean, bean, banana or arrowroot) to provide suitable nucleic acid molecules by means of which plant cells can be transformed, so that the synthesis of modified, advantageous starch varieties is made possible.
