Abstract

Nucleic acid molecules are described encoding a starch granule-bound protein from maize as well as methods and recombinant DNA molecules for the production of transgenic plant cells and plants synthesizing a modified starch. Moreover, the plant cells and plants resulting from those methods as well as the starch obtainable therefrom are described.
