          Appeal No. 2003-1918                                                        
          Application No. 08/945,722                                                  

               (e) introducing into the plant a portion of a nucleotide               
          sequence encoding an effective portion of a class A starch                  
          branching enzyme (SBE) obtainable from potato plants operably               
          linked to a suitable promoter active in the plant so as to affect           
          the expression of a gene present in the plant further comprising            
          introducing into the plant one or more further sequences operably           
          linked in the anti-sense orientation to a suitable promoter                 
          active in the plant; and                                                    
               (f) introducing into the plant a portion of a nucleotide               
          sequence encoding an effective portion of a class A starch                  
          branching enzyme (SBE) obtainable from potato plants operably               
          linked to a suitable promoter active in the plant so as to affect           
          the expression of a gene present in the plant further comprising            
          introducing into the plant a portion of a class B SBE nucleotide            
          sequence;                                                                   
               wherein the portion is effective to complement the branching           
          enzyme mutation in E coli KV 832 cells and which is active when             
          expressed in E. coli in the phosphorylation stimulation assay,              
          and the starch has an amylose content of at least 35% as judged             
          by the iodometric assay method of Morrison & Laignelet.
