Abstract:
An isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a regulatory element operably linked to a part of a nucleic acid sequence in antisense orientation thereto, wherein the nucleic acid sequence is selected from the group consisting of(a) a nucleic acid sequence encoding a protein that has the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2; (b) a nucleic acid sequence that is SEQ ID NO: 1; (c) a nucleic acid sequence that has more than 90% sequence identity to the coding region of SEQ ID NO: 1; (d) a nucleic acid sequence encoding a protein that has the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 6; (e) a nucleic acid sequence that is SEQ ID NO: 5; and (f) a nucleic acid sequence that has more than 90% sequence identity to the coding region of SEQ ID NO: 5; wherein the nucleic acid molecule is sufficient to reduce the expression of a starch synthase in a plant cell.
