Abstract excerpt
Potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Desiré) plants with reduced amounts of P-protein, one of the subunits of glycine decarboxylase (GDC), have been generated by introduction of an antisense transgene. Two transgenic lines, containing about 60-70% less P-protein in the leaves compared to wild-type potato, were analysed in more detail. The reduction in P-protein amount led to a decrease in the ability of leaf...
