Abstract
Nucleic acid molecules are described which encode enzymes which participate in starch synthesis in plants. These enzymes are a new isoform of starch synthase. There are furthermore described vectors for generating transgenic plant cells and plants which synthesize a modified starch. There are furthermore described methods for the generation of these transgenic plant cells and plants, and methods for producing modified starches.
