Abstract excerpt
The aim of this work was to investigate the effect on starch molecular and physicochemical properties of down regulation of the R1 protein in potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. "Dianella") tubers. Most prominent is a 90% suppression of the phosphate content in the isolated potato tuber starch. The amylopectin chain length distribution profile as determined by HPAEC/PAD was not affected, but the amylose content was...
