Abstract

Nucleic acid molecules are described, which encode debranching enzymes from potato, as well as transgenic plant cells and plants in which an amylopectin with modified properties is synthesized due to the expression of a debranching enzyme from potato or due to the inhibition of such an endogeneous debranching enzyme activity.
