               fragment essentially has a nucleotide sequence which is                
               selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID No. 1, SEQ ID             
               No. 2 and SEQ ID No. 3;                                                
                    growing the transformed potato tissue to produce a                
               potato plant containing potato tubers;                                 
                    producing at least one potato from said potato tubers;            
               and                                                                    
                    separating starch from said potato, wherein said                  
               starch is an amylopectin-type starch which is essentially              
               free of amylose.                                                       
                    2.   The process for producing an amylopectin-type                
               starch according to claim 1, wherein said fragment has a               
               nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID No. 1.                                   
                    3.   The process for producing an amylopectin-type                
               starch according to claim 1, wherein said fragment has a               
               nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID No. 2.                                   
                    4.   The process for producing an amylopectin-type                
               starch according to claim 1, wherein said fragment has a               
               nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID No. 3.                                   
                    5.   The process for producing an amylopectin-type                
               starch according to claim 1, wherein said promoter                     
               comprises a CAMV 35S promoter.                                         
                    6.   The process for producing an amylopectin-type                
               starch according to claim 1, wherein said promoter                     
               comprises a patatin I promoter.                                        
                    7.   The process for producing an amylopectin-type                
               starch according to claim 1, wherein said promoter                     
               comprises a GBSS promoter.                                             
                    8.   The process for producing an amylopectin-type                
               starch according to claim 7, wherein said GBSS promoter                
               has the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID No. 4.
