Definitions
- the present invention relates to potato starches having an amylose content of less than 10% by weight, a phosphate content in the C6 position of between 35 and 100 nmol of phosphate per milligram of starch and an increased content of side chains having a DP of from 12 to 19 as compared with the potato starch from corresponding wild-type potato plants.
- polysaccharide starch is composed of chemically uniform basic units, i.e. the glucose molecules, it is a complex mixture of different molecular forms which exhibit differences with regard to the degree of polymerization and branching and consequently differ greatly from each other in their physicochemical properties.
- amylose starch an essentially unbranched polymer composed of alpha-1 ,4-glycosidically linked glucose units
- amylopectin starch a branched polymer in which the branches are formed as a result of the appearance of additional alpha-1 ,6-glycosidic linkages.
- Another important difference between amylose and amylopectin lies in their molecular weights.
- amylose depending on the origin of the starch, has a molecular weight of 5 ⁇ 10 5 - 10 6 Da, the molecular weight of amylopectin is between 10 7 and 10 8 Da.
- the two macromolecules can be differentiated by their molecular weight and their different physicochemical properties, something which can most readily be visualized by their different iodine- binding properties.
- Amylose was regarded for a long time as being a linear polymer which consisted of alpha-1 ,4-glycosidically linked alpha-D-glucose monomers. However, more recent studies have demonstrated the presence of a small proportion of alpha-1 ,6-glycosidic branching points (approx. 0.1%) (Hizukuri and Takagi, Carbohydr. Res. 134 (1984), 1-10; Takeda et al., Carbohydr. Res. 132, (1984), 83-92).
- Amylopectin constitutes a complex mixture composed of glucose chains which are branched differently. Amylopectin is more strongly branched than amylose.
- the functional properties such as the solubility, the retrogradation behavior, the ability to bind water, the film-forming properties, the viscosity, the pasting properties, the freeze/thaw stability, the acid stability, the gel strength and the starch grain size of starches are influenced, inter alia, by the amylose/amylopectin ratio, the molecular weight, the pattern of side chain distribution of the amylopectin, the content of ions, the content of lipid and protein, the mean starch grain size, the starch grain morphology, etc.
- the functional properties of starch are also influenced by the content of phosphate, in the starch.
- starch phosphate The content of starch phosphate varies in dependence on the plant type. Thus, for example, certain corn mutants synthesize a starch having an elevated content of starch phosphate (waxy corn 0.002% and high-amylose corn 0.013%) whereas conventional corn types only exhibit traces of starch phosphate. Small quantities of starch phosphate are also found in wheat (0.001%) whereas it has not been possible to detect any starch phosphate in oats and sorghum. Relatively large quantities of starch phosphate have thus far been detected in tuber or root storage starch, for example tapioca (0.008%), sweet potato (0.011%), arrowroot (0.021%) or potato (0.089%).
- Starch phosphate can be present in the form of monoesters at the C2, C3 or C6 position in the polymerized glucose monomers (Takeda and Hizukuri, 1971 , Starch/Starke 23, 267-272). In general, from about 30% to 40% of the covalently bound starch phosphate groups are located in the C3 position, and from about 60% to 70% are located in the C6 position, in the glucose monomers (Blennow et al., 2000, Int. J. of Biological Macromolecules 27, 211-218).
- Potato amylopectin starches i.e. starches having an amylopectin content of more than 90% and an amylose content of less than 10%, can be obtained from potato plants in which the activity of the starch granule-bound starch synthase GBSSI ("Granule-Bound Starch Synthase I") is reduced (Shure et al., 1983, Cell 35, 225-233; Hovenkamp-Hermelink et al., 1987, Theoretical and Applied Genetics 75, 217-221 ; Visser et al., 1991 , MoI. Gen. Genet. 225, 289-296). GBSSI is involved in the formation of amylose.
- GBSSI is involved in the formation of amylose.
- starch from these plants exhibits a relative shift of the amylopectin side chains from relatively long chains to short chains (Lloyd et al., 1999, Biochemical Journal 338, 515-521), an increased content of phosphate, no change in the amylose content (Abel et al., 1996, The Plant Journal 10(6), 9891- 9991) and a reduced final viscosity in the RVA analysis (Abel, 1995, Berlin Free University thesis).
- WO 01/19975 describes plants in which the GBSSI and the SSII and/or SSIII activities are reduced. As compared with starch from wild-type potatoes, starch from potatoes having reduced activities of GBSSI, SSII and SSIII exhibit a lower amylose content, altered swellability and pasting properties and higher freeze/thaw stability.
- WO 01/12782 describes plants in which both the GBSSI activity and the BEI activity are reduced. Starch from these potato plants exhibits a reduced amylose content as compared with potato starch from wild-type plants and an elevated phosphate content and/or a reduced pasting temperature in the RVA analysis as compared with potato starch from plants having the waxy phenotype.
- WO 00/08184 describes, inter alia, plants in which both the SSIII activity and the BEI activity are reduced. Starch from these plants exhibits a markedly elevated phosphate content as compared with starch from wild- type plants.

Any combinations of two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine and all the properties are to be regarded as being disclosed.
- the starches according to the invention exhibit properties which appear to make them particularly suitable for being used in processes in which a pronounced ability to swell, a high degree of freeze/thaw stability and/or a high charge density are advantageous. These requirements apply, for example, to thickeners in the foodstuffs industry, especially when these thickeners are frozen for storage or processing and/or a particularly high thickening efficiency is desirable.
- the starches according to the invention are particularly well suited for being used in the paper industry.
- the high charge density is advantageous since it makes it possible to produce frequently employed amphoteric starches in what is only a one-step derivatization reaction and to a large extent dispense with additional derivatization reactions for introducing negative charges into the starches.
- Standard methods which are known to the skilled person, can be used to chemically and/or physically modify the potato starches according to the invention, preferably native potato starches, after they have been extracted from the potato tubers.
- native potato starch can be altered by, e.g., physical (e.g. thermal or mechanical) and/or chemical derivatization and/or breakdown products of the starch (e.g. dextrins) which are obtained by enzymic, acid-hydrolytic or thermal degradation.
- physical e.g. thermal or mechanical
- chemical derivatization and/or breakdown products of the starch e.g. dextrins
- dextrins chemical derivatization and/or breakdown products of the starch
- the native potato starches according to the invention are better suited than are conventional potato starches (derived from wild-type potato plants) for being used as starting substance for preparing the derivatized potato starches because this starting substance exhibits, for example, a higher proportion of reactive functional groups, as a result of the higher content of covalently bonded starch phosphate, is more strongly hydrophilic and is more accessible to chemical agents.
- the present invention therefore also relates to derivatized potato starches which contain the, preferably native, potato starches according to the invention and to methods for preparing such a derivatized starch, in which methods potato starch according to the invention, which is preferably native, is subsequently, i.e. after having been extracted from the potato tuber, chemically and/or physically modified, preferably in vitro.
- the derivatized starch according to the invention is, in particular, heat- treated starch.
- the present invention preferably relates to acid-modified starch which has preferably been treated with acid, preferably with hydrochloric acid (at a concentration of up to 1M) in an aqueous system at temperatures of up to 50 0 C.

- the derivatized starches are starch ethers, in particular starch alkyl ethers, O-allyl ethers, hydroxyalkyl ethers, O- carboxymethyl ethers, nitrogen-containing starch ethers, phosphate- containing starch ethers or sulfur-containing starch ethers.
- the derivatized starches are crosslinked starches.
- the derivatized starches are starch graft polymers.
- the derivatized starches are oxidized starches.
- the derivatized starches are starch esters, in particular starch esters which were introduced into the starch using organic acids.
- the starch esters are particularly preferably phosphate, nitrate, sulfate, xanthate, acetate or citrate starches.
- the derivatized starches according to the invention are suitable for a variety of uses in the pharmaceutical industry and in the foodstuffs and/or nonfoodstuffs spheres.
- Methods for preparing derivatized starches according to the invention are known to the skilled person and are adequately described in the general literature. A review regarding the preparation of derivatized starches can be found, for example, in Orthoefer (in: Corn, Chemistry and Technology, 1987, eds. Watson and Ramstad, Chapter 16, 479-499).
- the present invention likewise relates to derivatized starch which can be obtained using the method according to the invention for preparing a derivatized starch.
- the present invention furthermore relates to the use of potato starches according to the invention, which are preferably native, for preparing derivatized potato starch.
- the potato starches according to the invention are suitable, in native or derivatized form, for a variety of uses in the foodstuffs or nonfoodstuffs sphere.
- the possibilities for using the starch can be divided into two large areas.
- One of the areas comprises the hydrolysis products of the starch, principally glucose and glucan building blocks, which are obtained using enzymic or chemical methods. They serve as starting compounds for further chemical modifications and processes such as fermentation.
- the simplicity and economical implementation of a hydrolysis process can be of importance for reducing the cost.
- the process proceeds essentially enzymatically using amyloglucosidase. It will be possible to conceive of saving costs by making less use of enzymes.
- a change in the structure of the starch e.g. an increase in the surface of the granule, easier digestibility as a result of a lower degree of branching, or a steric structure which limits accessibility for the enzymes employed, could bring this about.
- the starch can be used as an auxiliary for different production processes or as an additive in industrial products.
- the paper and paperboard industry is to be mentioned, in particular, in connection with using the starch as an auxiliary.
- the starch is first and foremost for retardation (retention of solids), for binding filler and fines particles, as a stabilizer and for dewatering.
- the favorable properties of the starch are exploited in relation to stiffness, hardness, rattle, feel, shine, glaze, plybond strength and the surfaces.
- Paper and paperboard industry Four areas of application, namely surface, coating, pulp and spraying are to be distinguished within the paper manufacturing process.
- the demands placed on the starch with regard to surface treatment are essentially a high degree of brightness, an appropriate viscosity, high viscosity stability, good film formation and low dust formation.
- the solids content, an appropriate viscosity, high binding ability and high pigment affinity are of importance.
- rapid, uniform and loss-free dispersion, high mechanical stability and complete retention in the paper web are of importance.
- an appropriate solids content, a high viscosity and a high binding ability are likewise of importance.
- a large area for using the starches is constituted by the adhesives industry, where the possibilities of employment are divided into four constituent areas: use as pure starch glue, use in connection with starch glues which are prepared using special chemicals, use of starch as a substance added to synthetic resins and polymer dispersions, and use of starches as extenders for synthetic adhesives.
- 90% of the starch-based adhesives are used in the areas constituting corrugated board production, production of paper sacks and bags, production of materials for bonding paper and aluminum, production of cardboard articles, and production of remoistening glue for envelopes, postage stamps, etc.
- the area of textile production and textile care product production represents a large field for using the starches as auxiliaries and additives.
- the following four areas of use can be distinguished within the textile industry: the use of starch as a sizing material, i.e. as an auxiliary for smoothing and strengthening burring behavior, for protecting against the tractive forces which act during weaving, and for increasing the abrasion resistance in connection with weaving; starch as an agent for textile finishing, especially after quality- impairing pretreatments such as bleaching, dyeing, etc.; starch as a thickener in connection with producing pigment pastes for preventing dye diffusions; and starch as a substance added to warping agents for sewing cottons.
- the fourth area of employment is the use of the starches as additives for building materials.
- An example is the production of gypsum plasterboards in which the starch which is mixed in the gypsum slurry forms a paste with the water, diffuses to the surface of the gypsum panel, where it binds the paperboard to the panel.
- Other areas of employment are admixing to rendering fibers and mineral fibers.
- starch products are used for delaying setting.
- the starch in plant protection products for the purpose of modifying the specific properties of the preparations.
- the starch can be used for improving the wetting properties of plant protection products and fertilizers, for the metered release of the active compounds, for converting liquid, volatile and/or malodorous active compounds into microcrystalline, stable and formable substances, for mixing incompatible compounds and for extending the duration of action by reducing decomposition.
- the starch can be used as a binder for tablets or for binder dilution in capsules.
- the starch can also be used as a tablet disintegrant since it absorbs liquid after swallowing and after a short time swells to such an extent that the active compound is released.
- medicinal glidants and wound powders are based on starch.
- starches are, for example, employed as carriers of powder additives, such as perfumes and salicylic acid. Toothpastes constitute a relatively area for using the starch.
- starch additive can be used to agglomerate or briquette coal in a quantitatively high-grade manner, thereby preventing any premature decomposition of the briquettes.
- the addition of starch is between 4 and 6% in the case of grilling coal and between 0.1 and 0.5% in the case of calorized coal.
- the starch can also be used as a flocculant in connection with ore and coal slurry dressing.
- Another area of use is as a substance which is added to foundry auxiliaries.
- cores which are produced from sands to which binder has been added.
- the binder which is nowadays mainly used is bentonite to which modified starches, usually swelling starches, have been added.
- the purpose of adding the starch is to increase the flow resistance and to improve binding strength.
- the swelling starches can exhibit other requirements in relation to production technology, such as dispersible in cold water, rehydratable, readily miscible in sand and high water-binding capacity.
- the starch can be used for improving technical and optical quality.
- the reasons in this connection are the improvement in the surface shine, the improvement in the feel and the appearance (for this, starch is dusted onto the tacky gummed areas of rubbers prior to cold vulcanization) and the improvement in the printability of the rubber.
- starches according to the invention is in the area of extracting raw materials using drills.
- auxiliaries and/or lubricants which prevent the drill or the drilling gear from overheating.
- starch When compared with other substances such as talc, it is uncompetitive to use the starch simply as a filler. The situation is different when the specific properties of the starch come into play and the property profiles of the final products are markedly altered as a result.

- the potato patatin gene, MCPI and GBSSI promoters are promoters which are preferred for expressing the foreign nucleic acid molecule/polynucleotide (the foreign nucleic acid molecules/polynucleotides).
- the foreign nucleic acid molecule/polynucleotide (the foreign nucleic acid molecules/poly- nucleotides) in those organs in the plant which store starch.
- the examples of these organs are the tuber of the potato plant or the grains or endosperm of corn, wheat or rice plants. Preference is therefore given to using promoters which mediate expression in these organs.
- promoters which are only activated at a timepoint which is determined by external influences (see, for example, WO 93/07279). Promoters of heat shock proteins, which permit simple induction, may be of particular interest in this connection. It is furthermore possible to use seed-specific promoters, such as the Vicia faba USP promoter, which ensures seed-specific expression in Vicia faba and other plants (Fiedler et al., 1993, Plant MoI. Biol. 22, 669-679; Baumlein et al., 1991 , MoI. Gen. Genet. 225, 459-467), and also fruit-specific promoters, as described, for example, in WO 91/01373.
- a termination sequence which serves the purpose of correctly terminating the transcription and of adding a poly A tail to the transcript, with the tail being attributed a function in stabilizing the transcripts, to be present.
- a large number of techniques are available for introducing DNA into a host plant cell. These techniques include transforming plant cells with T-DNA using Agrobacterium tumefaciens or Agrobacterium rhizogenes as transforming agent, fusing protoplasts, injecting, electroporating the DNA, introducing the DNA by means of a biolistic approach, and also other possibilities.
- the present invention also relates to a plant cell which is genetically modified, with the genetic modification leading to reduction of the GBSSI,
- BEI gene and/or to a mutation or an insertion in at least one gene having the nucleotide sequence specified under SEQ ID NO: 1
- the present invention also relates to any type of material for propagating plants according to the invention.
- the plant cells according to the invention can be used for regenerating whole plants.
- the present invention likewise relates to the plants which can be obtained by regenerating the plant cells according to the invention.

- potato plant or “potato” means plant species of the genus Solanum, particularly tuber-producing species of the genus Solanum and, in particular, Solanum tuberosum.
- the present invention furthermore relates to a method for producing a plant according to the invention, in which
- a plant cell is genetically modified, with the genetic modification being the introduction of one or more foreign nucleic acid molecule(s) whose presence and/or expression leads to a reduction in the GBSSI and/or SSIII and/or BEI activities(-ies) and to a reduction in the expression of the gene specified under SEQ ID NO 11 or SEQ ID NO 13, as compared with those in corresponding wild-type plant cells, b) a plant is regenerated from step a) plant cells; and c) where appropriate, further plants are produced using the plants in accordance with step b).
- the genetic modification which is introduced into the plant cell in accordance with step a) can in principle be any type of modification which leads to a reduction in the activity of one or more SSIII proteins which occur(s) endogenously in the plant and of one or more BEI proteins which occur(s) endogenously in the plant and of one or more GBSSI proteins which occur(s) endogenously in the plant and of one or more proteins which occur(s) endogenously in the plant and which exhibit(s) at least 80%, preferably 90%, particularly preferably 95%, identity with the nucleic acid molecule specified under SEQ ID NO 12 or SEQ ID NO 14.
- step (b) can be regenerated using methods which are known to the skilled person (e.g. described in "Plant Cell Culture Protocols", 1999, edtd. by R.D. Hall, Humana Press, ISBN 0-89603-549-2). Further plants can be regenerated in accordance with step (c) of the method according to the invention by means, for example, of vegetative propagation (for example using cuttings or tubers or using a callus culture and regenerating whole plants) or by means of sexual propagation.
- the sexual propagation preferably takes place in a controlled manner, i.e. selected plants possessing particular properties are crossed with each other and propagated.
- the selection is preferably made such that the further plants which are obtained in accordance with step c) exhibit the genetic modification which was introduced in step a).
