Abstract
The present invention relates to recombinant nucleic acid molecules which contain two or more nucleotide sequences which encode enzymes which participate in the starch metabolism, methods for generating transgenic plant cells and plants which synthesize starch which is modified with regard to its phosphate content and its side-chain structure. The present invention furthermore relates to vectors and host cells which contain the nucleic acid molecules according to the invention, the plant cells and plants which originate from the methods according to the invention, to the starch synthesized by the plant cells and plants according to the invention, and to processes for the preparation of this starch.
