| Abstract: | Starch biosynthesis in plants involves the concerted action of a numberof enzymes, including ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase, starch synthases,branching enzymes and debranching enzymes. We report on the cloningand characterisation of genes encoding these enzymes from wheat and ontheir chromosomal locations. The prospects for manipulating wheat starchstructure and functionality using these genes is discussed. |
