    摘要: Methods are disclosed for distinguishing and identifying plants by measuring partial hydrolysis of polysaccharides on account of polysaccharide-hydrolyzing enzyme activity at pre-determined incubation times and temperatures. Methods also are disclosed for identifying the source organism of a heterologous polysaccharide-hydrolyzing enzyme in a plant by measuring partial hydrolysis of polysaccharides on account of polysaccharide-hydrolyzing enzyme activity at pre-determined incubation times and temperatures. The reaction mixture has unique chemical and physical properties that can be used to construct viscosity curves for measuring polysaccharide-hydrolyzing enzyme activity. The viscosity curves can be compared among plants to distinguish or identify the plants from one another. Likewise, viscosity curves can be compared among source organisms to identify the source organism of the heterologous polysaccharide-hydrolyzing enzyme in the plant.

    摘要: SHE, a Starch Hydrolytic Enzyme active in maize endosperm (Zea mays), and the cDNA sequence encoding SHE are disclosed. The specificity of native, purified SHE is similar, in general terms, to previously known alpha-amylases. However, the activity of SHE toward amylopectin results in hydrolysis products that are distinctly different from those of other alpha-amylases. SHE, and its homologous equivalents in other plants such as rice, Arabidopsis, apple and potato, can be used in starch processing for generating different, e.g., larger sized, alpha-limit dextrins for industrial use, as compared to those generated by previously known alpha-amylases or other starch hydrolytic enzymes. In addition, modification of the expression of this enzyme in transgenic maize plants or in other transgenic organisms (including bacteria, yeast, and other plant species) can be useful for the generation of novel starch forms or altered starch metabolism.

    摘要: A chimeric plant promoter which is responsive to sugar depletion or deprivation is disclosed. The promoter includes a promoter element and, carried in the element, a heterologous sequence from the rice Amy3D that is responsive to sugar depletion. Also disclosed is a plant transfecting vector containing the sequence, and plant cell transfected with the vector.
