Abstract:
1. A method for preparing starch, comprising the step of extracting starch from (1) a transgenic plant comprising plant cells containing a nucleic acid molecule linked to regulatory sequences guaranteeing the transcription in plant cells said nucleic acid molecule encoding a branching enzyme selected from the group consisting of or (2) from transgenic plants obtained by a method comprising or (3) from starch-storing parts of a plant according to (1) or (2) or from plant cells containing a nucleic acid molecule linked either to regulatory sequences guaranteeing the transcription in plant cells or to a sequence encoding a signal sequence which guarantees the localisation of the encoded protein in the plastids of the cells, said nucleic acid molecule encoding a branching enzyme selected from the group consisting of
