Disclosed is altered starch extracted from a transformed potato plant or the progeny thereof, which starch, as extracted, has a viscosity onset temperature as determined by differential scanning calorimetry which is reduced by at least 5°C compared to starch extracted from equivalent, non-transformed plants, together with a nucleic acid sequence comprising at least 200bp and exhibiting at least 80% sequence identity with the corresponding region of the DNA sequence shown in Figure 6, operably linked in the sense or antisense orientation to a promoter operable in a plant, and host cells and plants comprising the sequence. |
