Abstract:
An isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a protein with a biological activity of a starch synthase, wherein the nucleic acid sequence is selected from the group consisting of:(a) a nucleic acid sequence encoding a protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2;(b) a nucleic acid sequence comprising the coding region of SEQ ID NO: 1;(c) a nucleic acid sequence that has at least 60% sequence identity to the entire coding region of the nucleic acid sequence of (a) or (b) and that encodes a protein with a biological activity of a soluble starch synthase;(d) a nucleic acid sequence that deviates from the sequence of any one of the nucleic acid sequences of (a), (b) or (c) due to the degeneracy of the genetic code;(e) a nucleic acid sequence encoding a protein which comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:6;(f) a nucleic acid sequence comprising the coding region of SEQ ID NO:5;(g) a nucleic acid sequence that has at least 60% sequence identity to the entire coding region of the nucleic acid sequence of (e) or (f) and that encodes a protein with a biological activity of a granule bound starch synthase; and(h) a nucleic acid sequence that deviates from the sequence of any one of the sequences of (e), (f), or (g) due to the degeneracy of the genetic code.
