Abstract excerpt

Potato plants (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Désirée) transformed with sense and antisense constructs of a cDNA encoding the potato hexokinase 2 exhibited altered enzyme activities and expression of hexokinase 2 mRNA. Measurements of the maximum catalytic activity of hexokinase revealed an 11-fold variation in leaf (from 48% of the wild-type activity in antisense transformants to 446% activity in sense transformants)...
