Producing starches with altered composition, structure and novel physico-chemical properties in planta by manipulating the enzymes which are involved in starch metabolism or (over)expressing heterologous enzymes has huge advantages such as broadening the range of starch applications and reducing the costs of the post-harvest starch modification. The starch binding domain (SBD) technology has been extensively explored in our lab for modifying starch in planta and producing so-called “tailored starches”. In this thesis, two different microbial enzymes, E. coli glycogen branching enzyme (GlgB) and Neisseria polysaccharea amylosucrase, were chosen and expressed in potato to modify starch composition or structure by fusing with an SBD.
