#$%^&*AU2009200577B220130620.pdf#####P)OPER\JEH\Specis\Convetio\CSIRO\3072O018 -hig frucan\3072501 spci do.-13/02/2009 ABSTRACT The invention provides cereal plants having a high level of fructan useful for the production of a range of food, beverage, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products. The invention provides methods of producing high-fructan products from plants modified to comprise a reduced level of an endogenous polypeptide with starch synthase activity, and products so produced. In some embodiments, plants are modified by introduction of an agent such as a nucleic acid molecule which down regulates endogenous starch synthase II gene expression.
