Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for increasing the phosphate content of starches of genetically modified plant cells in comparison with starches from corresponding genetically nonmodified wild-type plant cells, wherein a plant cell is genetically modified by the introduction of a foreign nucleic acid molecule which codes for a soluble starch synthase II, and this starch synthase II is overexpressed.
  • the present invention relates to rice starch and rice flour with improved quality properties, to rice grains comprising this rice starch, and the rice plants on which these rice grains grow.
  • Rice is the most important food for more than half of the world's population. In some countries, rice amounts to approximately 80% of all the food intake. The annual production worldwide is 550 millions tonnes of rice.
  • the rice kernel consists of approximately 76% of starch and approximately 7-8% of protein. It contains only 1.3% of fat and a large number of trace elements (0.6%) such as phosphorus, iron and magnesium.
  • the economically most important rice species is Oryza sativa , whose basic varieties can be divided into two groups:
  • the “indicia” group which includes only long-grain rice
  • the “japonica” group which contains medium- and short-grain rice.
  • Long-grain rice (rice varieties whose grains are separate when cooked) comes mainly from India or Java; short-grain rice (such as “pudding rice”, i.e. rice varieties whose grains are sticky when cooked) comes primarily from Japan.
  • translucent grain or opaque grain In all varieties, in turn, there are two main types: translucent grain or opaque grain. These differ in the composition of their starch: the starch of translucent rice consists of approximately 20% of amylose and to 80% of amylopectin, while that of the opaque rice, in contrast, consists virtually only of amylopectin.
  • Amylopectin has a specific cluster structure and is synthesized by a variety of subunits or isoforms of four classes of enzymes: soluble starch synthase (SS), starch-branching enzymes (SBE), starch-debranching enzymes (SDE) and ADP glucose pyrophosphorylase (Nakamura 2002, Plant Cell Physiol. 43(7): 718-725).
  • SS soluble starch synthase
  • SBE starch-branching enzymes
  • SDE starch-debranching enzymes
  • ADP glucose pyrophosphorylase ADP glucose pyrophosphorylase
  • the cooking and eating characteristics are determined mostly by the amylose content of the rice endosperm. Varieties with a low amylose content are damp and sticky after cooking, while grains with a high amylose content go dry and fluffy upon cooking (H. ten Have in Hoffmann Mudra Plarre (HMP) 1985: Lehrbuch der Zuchtung landw.demesse, Volume 2, pp. 110-123).
  • Grain quality is very important not only for the consumer, but also for the milling industry; grain properties such as grain size, grain shape and grain quality are important features since they affect the yield of ground rice and the percentage of broken grains (ten Have 1985, supra).
  • Rice flour is relatively neutral in taste and therefore very suitable as the basis for mild-tasting products or else as an admixture. Owing to its hypoallerginicity, it is also very suitable for baby formula or as diet for allergy sufferers.
  • polysaccharides are the most important renewable raw materials from plants.
  • cellulose starch, which is one of the most important storage materials in Higher Plants, is of prime importance among the polysaccharides.
  • the polysaccharide starch is a polymer of chemically uniform units, the glucose molecules. However, it constitutes a highly complex mixture of different forms of molecules which differ with regard to their degree of polymerization and the occurrence of branchings of the glucose chains and their chain length and, additionally, may be derivatized, for example phosphorylated. Starch therefore does not constitute a uniform raw material.
  • amylose starch an essentially unbranched polymer of ⁇ -1,4-glycosidically linked glucose molecules, differs from amylopectin starch, which, in turn, is a complex mixture of differently branched glucose chains.
  • the branchings are formed by the occurrence of additional ⁇ -1,6-glycosidic linkages.
  • the starch synthesized is approximately 20%-25% amylose starch and approximately 70%-75% amylopectin starch.
  • the functional properties of starch are affected greatly not only by the amylose/amylopectin ratio and the phosphate content, but also by the molecular weight, the pattern of the side-chain distribution, the ionic content, the lipid and protein content, the mean size of the starch grains, the starch grain morphology and the like.
  • Important functional properties which may be mentioned in this context are, for example, the solubility, the retrogradation behavior, the water-binding capacity, the film-forming properties, the viscosity, the pasting properties, the freeze-thaw stability, the stability to acids, the gel strength and the like.
  • starch synthesis takes place in the plastids, which are the chloroplasts in photosynthetically active tissue and the amyloplasts in photosynthetically inactive, starch-storing tissue.
  • Branching enzymes catalyze the introduction of ⁇ -1,6-branchings into linear ⁇ -1,4-glucans.
  • branching enzymes catalyze the introduction of ⁇ -1,6-branchings into linear ⁇ -1,4-glucans.
  • isoforms have been described, all of which catalyze a polymerization reaction by transferring a glucosyl residue from ADP-glucose to ⁇ -1,4-glucans.
  • Starch synthases (EC 2.4.1.21) can be divided into two classes: the starch-granule-bound starch synthases (“granule-bound starch synthases I”; GBSS I) and the soluble starch synthase (“soluble starch synthases”; SSS, also referred to as “SS”). This distinction is not unambiguous in each case since some of the starch synthases exist both in starch-granule-bound form and in soluble form (Denyer et al., Plant J. 4 (1993), 191-198; Mu et al., Plant J. 6 (1994), 151-159).
  • starch phosphate The content of covalently bound starch phosphate varies, depending on the plant species. Thus, for example, certain maize mutants synthetize starch with an increased starch phosphate content (waxy maize 0.002% and high-amylose maize 0.013%), while traditional maize varieties only contain traces of starch phosphate. Small amounts of starch phosphate are also found in wheat (0.001%), while no starch phosphate was detected in oats and millet. Likewise, less starch phosphate was found in rice mutants (waxy rice 0.003%) than in traditional rice varieties (0.013%).
  • starch phosphate Significant amounts of starch phosphate were detected in plants which synthetize tuber- or root-reserve starch such as, for example, tapioca (0.008%), sweet potato (0.011%), arrowroot (0.021%) or potato (0.089%). These percentages for the starch phosphate content are in each case based on the dry weight of starch and have been determined by Jane et al. (1996, Cereal Foods World 41 (11), 827-832). Studies on SSI-antisense potatoes revealed that their phosphate content was increased by 30-70% over the wild type (WO 96/15248).
  • the distribution of phosphate in starch which has been synthetized by plants is generally distinguished by the fact that approximately 30% to 40% of the phosphate residues are bonded covalently in the C3 position and approximately 60% to 70% of the phosphate residues in the C6 position of the glucose molecules (Blennow et al., 2000, Int. J. of Biological Macromolecules 27: 211-218).
  • chemically phosphorylated starches additionally have phosphate residues bonded in the C2 position of the glucose molecules since the chemical reaction proceeds in an undirected fashion.
  • WO 03/023024 discloses rice starches which have a DSC T-onset temperature of up to 69.5° C. and/or a DSC T-peak temperature of up to 73.6° C.; a total of approximately 400 rice varieties of the groups japonica and indica have been analyzed for these features.
  • Umemoto et al. (2002, Theor. Appl. Genet. 104:1-8) describe the analysis of back-crossed inbred lines between a japonica variety (Nipponbare) and an indica variety (Kasalath). They conclude from their results that the alk(t), gel(t) and acl(t) locus, which is responsible for the different gelatinization onset temperatures (DSC T-onset) between japonica and indica varieties, might be the starch synthase isoform SSIIa.
  • WO 03/023024 describes a rice transformant (#78-1) of the japonica variety (Kinmaze) into which a gene of starch synthase IIa (SSIIa) from the indica form IR36 has been transformed. The resulting changes in the amylopectin side-chain profile are shown and, as a consequence, indicate a shift from the japonica profile towards that of the indica variety (FIG. 22 in WO 03/023024).
  • WO 03/023024 describes neither phosphate contents, amylose contents nor rheological properties of the rice starches or flours.
  • FIG. 6B shows the temperatures for DSC T-onset of the starches of the SSIIa-transformants generated. In no case is the DSC T-onset higher than 70° C. The highest T-onset value detailed therein is 69.5° C., as described also in WO 03/023024 (pp. 21-24).
  • the present invention relates to a process for increasing the phosphate content of starches of genetically modified plant cells to 150 to 500% in comparison with starches from corresponding genetically nonmodified wild-type plant cells (100%), wherein
  • phosphate content of starch is understood as meaning phosphate groups which are covalently bonded to the glucose monomers of the starch.

  • phosphate content in position C6 is understood as meaning the content in phosphate groups which are bound at the carbon atom position “6” of the glucose monomers of the starch.
  • the positions C3 and C6 of the glucose units can be phosphorylated in starch in vivo.
  • the phosphate content in position C6 ( ⁇ C-6-P content) is determined via a glucose-6-phosphate determination by means of the visual enzyme assay described hereinbelow (Nielsen et al., 1994, Plant Physiol. 105, 111-117); (determination of the phosphate content at position C6 (C6-P content).
  • the elevation of the phosphate content of starches is effected in vivo, not in vitro, such as, for example, by chemical phosphorylation of a pre-extracted starch. Accordingly, the advantage of the present invention is that chemical agents used for the chemical phosphorylation can be dispensed with.

  • SSII proteins show a sequence of specific domains. At the “N” terminus, SSII proteins have a signal peptide for the transport into plastids. An N-terminal region and a catalytic domain follow in the direction of the C terminus (Li et al., 2000, Plant Physiology 123, 613-624). Further analyses based on primary sequence comparisons (http://hits.isb-sib.ch/cgi-bin/PFSCAN) of a variety of SSII proteins have revealed that SSII proteins have three specific domains.

  • the rice transformation vector IR103-123 (described in WO 05/030941) and the plasmid CF31-191 (described in WO 97/45545 under the name pTaSS1) were used.
  • the rice transformation vector IR103-123 serves for the endosperm-specific expression of the target gene by means of the globulin promoter from rice.
  • the vector IR103-123 is linearized using the restriction enzymes EcoRV and XhoI.
  • the plasmid CF31-191 contains the cDNA of a starch synthase II (SSII) from wheat ( Triticum aestivum ).
  • a second step b) the cDNA of the SSII is excised from the plasmid CF31-191 using the restriction enzymes Ecl136II and XhoI. Ligation of the vector IR103-123 which had been linearized in step a) and the fragment, obtained in step b), of plasmid CF 31-191 gives the vector AH32-191.
  • the T-DNA of the plasmid AH32-191 was transferred into rice plants with the aid of agrobacteria as described by Ishida et al. (1996, Nature Biotechnology 14 (6): 745-750).
  • the increase of the SSII activity is determined by means of zymograms.
  • FIG. 1 shows zymograms of three genetically modified rice lines for determining the SSII activity in comparison with the wild type.
  • the material used was total protein extract from immature grains (15 days after the beginning of flowering) of the wild type and the respective genetically modified lines, in each case in identical amounts.
  • the protein extracts from the genetically modified lines were diluted stepwise, and the extent to which the activity was increased was determined by visually comparing the intensity of the SSII band in these lanes with the “wild-type lane”.
  • the SSII activity of line GAOS0353-01502 is ten times as high as in the grains of the wild type, that of line GAOS0353-01301 six times as high and that of line GAOS0353-02301 twice as high.
  • Rice grains were harvested from plants generated as described in example 2 and subsequently processed by means of the above-described method (“4) Processing of rice grains”) to give rice flour.
  • the starch component of the rice flour was subsequently analyzed by means of the above-described method (“7) Determination of the phosphate content in the C6 position (C6-P content)”) for their phosphate content in the C6 position.
  • Table 1 Characteristics of rice starch with increased SSII activity in comparison with the wild type (wt). The data shown are the SSII activity (as a multiple of the wild type) and the content of starch-bound glucose-6-phosphate (C-6-P).
  • the phosphate content at the C6 position of the starches from genetically modified lines are significantly increased in comparison with the wild type as a function of the level of the SSII activity.
  • the data given are the SSII expression in the immature rice grain (as multiples of the wild type), the changes in the DSC values of rice flour, in ° C. and in percent (%) of the wild type.
  • Table 4 shows the distribution of the amylopectin side chains of different genetically modified rice lines in comparison with the wild type.
  • an increasing SSII activity entails a discrete change in the amylopectin side-chain distribution.
  • An increase in the SSII activity results in a gradually, differently pronounced reduction of the side chains with a DP of between 6-10 and an increase in the side chains with a DP of 20-25.
  • Rice grains of different genetically modified lines and of the corresponding wild type were cooked for up to the optimal cooking time in question (see method “determination of the characteristics of cooked rice grains”).
  • the texture is determined on rice grains which, after cooking, had been stored for 22 hours at 4° C. (table 5a, data shown are the means of 10 measurements per sample (in each case 3 grains)) or on freshly cooked rice grains (approximately 1 hour after cooking) and on rice grains which had been stored in the cold (4° C., 22 h) and then reheated in an oven or microwave (table 5b).
  • the stickiness of the cooked rice grains decreases with increasing SSII activity (table 5a).
  • the reduction of the stickiness in line GAOS0353-02301 is reduced to approximately half, in line GAOS0353-01301 by approximately a factor of 3 and in line GAOS0353-01502 approximately by a factor of 13.
  • the increased SSII activity in rice results in a significantly higher elongation of the grains during cooking along the longitudinal axis.
  • ER elongation rate
  • Lc/Wc length/width ratio
  • the line whose SSII activity is increased twofold shows a lesser degree of change with regard to the above-described parameters, while the two lines whose SSII activities are six-fold (GAOS0353-01301) or ten-fold (GAOS0353-01502) increased show much more pronounced manifestations.
  • Rice flours from different genetically modified lines and from the corresponding wild type were analyzed for their physico-chemical characteristics as described in the method “analysis of rice flour by means of RVA”.
  • the course of the viscosity of flours from the wild type and the genetically modified lines differs in a plurality of parameters.
  • the genetically modified samples start pasting at a markedly later point in time, which can be seen from the increased “pasting temperature”.
  • the subsequent development of the viscosity up to the peak viscosity proceeds very rapidly, as can be seen from the shorter “peak time” of the genetically modified samples.
  • All the other viscosity parameters peak, trough, final
  • the line with the highest SSII activity shows the lowest peak, trough and final viscosities and, with a value of more than 10° C., the highest difference in the pasting temperature.
  • the starches of the transformants GAOS353-2501 and GAOS 353-1301 show a distinctly reduced digestibility compared with the wild type.
  • the enzymatic degradation of the isolated starch in the case of the transformant GAOS 353-1301 relative to the wild type is 53% after 20 minutes, 67% after 60 minutes and 84% after 120 minutes.
  • the enzymatic degradation of the isolated starch in the case of the transformant GAOS 353-2501 relative to the wild type is 39% after 20 minutes, 49% after 60 minutes and 68% after 120 minutes ( FIG. 3 ).
