Figure 2 (a) Sequence (dp 30) <strong>of</strong> a nonbranched starch glucan formed by GBSS <strong>and</strong> SS<br />

helical structure with six anhydro-glucose units (AGU) per turn; hydrophobic cave;<br />

hydrophilic exterior; (b) Fragment (dp 43) <strong>of</strong> a branched starch glucan formed by GBSS <strong>and</strong><br />

SS þ BE; branches as symmetry-breaker compared to nonbranched starch glucan;<br />

increased packing density (molar mass within occupied volume).<br />

General properties/qualities <strong>of</strong> mutants include:<br />

. Single mutants (waxy, amylose, sugary) typically result in modified<br />

physico-chemical <strong>and</strong> technological (functional) properties.<br />

. Double mutants (waxy/amylose, waxy/dull) provide new functionalities,<br />

but also poor yield, poor germination.<br />

. Gene-dose <strong>of</strong> single mutants (aeaeþ or aeþþ) yield no modified starch<br />

structure/functionality.<br />

. Intermutants (wxwxþ/þþ ae) provide novel functionality <strong>and</strong> high<br />

starch yield.<br />
