Cassava starch biosynthesis: new avenues for modifying starch quantity and quality

The genes coding for the main enzymes involved in cassava starch biosynthesis have been cloned and characterised. Molecular analysis of these genes revealed high amino acid sequence homology with other cloned genes from starch forming plant species. Use of these genes to modify the pathway of starch...

Zusammenfassung:	The genes coding for the main enzymes involved in cassava starch biosynthesis have been cloned and characterised. Molecular analysis of these genes revealed high amino acid sequence homology with other cloned genes from starch forming plant species. Use of these genes to modify the pathway of starch biosynthesis in cassava has become possible with the advent of a reproducible transformation and regeneration protocol for cassava. This would enable the development of new cassava cultivars able to produce starches with different physico-chemical properties and uses.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
