Abstract:
An isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding a protein with the function of a potato &bgr;-amylase, selected from the group consisting of:a) a nucleic acid molecule encoding the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2; b) a nucleic acid molecule having the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1; c) a nucleic acid molecule which hybridizes with, or is complementary to, the nucleic acid molecules stated under a) or b), wherein hybridization is performed at a temperature of 68Â° C. in buffer comprising 2Ã—SSC or 7% SDS and is followed by a wash at 68Â° C. in a wash buffer containing 0.2Ã—SSC; and d) a nucleic acid molecule whose nucleotide sequence deviates from the sequence of the nucleic acid molecule stated under a)-c) owing to the degeneracy of the genetic code.
