Abstract
Plants with an altered starch synthesizing ability are produced by incorporating into the genome of the plant at least one donor gene encoding a starch primer. The starch primer is an enzyme capable of initiating starch synthesis, such as an amylogenin and/or glycogenin. DNA constructs encoding a starch primer are provided, particularly constructs encoding amylogenin from maize.
