Abstract excerpt
Recently, transgenic potato plants were created showing underexpression of the 20R isoform of the 14-3-3 protein. The transgenic plants grown in tissue culture showed a significant increase in nitrate reductase activity and a decrease in nitrate level. The transgenic line with the lowest 14-3-3 quantity was field-trialed (1997-2000) and analyzed. The reduction in the 14-3-3 protein level consistently resulted in...
