Abstract excerpt
RT-PCR was used to isolate seven cDNAs encoding uridine diphosphate-glucose pyrophosphorylase (UGPase) from six potato cultivars that differed markedly in their ability to sweeten in cold storage (2-4 degrees C). These sequences were compared to two potato UGPase-cDNAs previously published. All cDNAs were highly conserved (97.6-99.9%) and coded for polypeptides with 477 amino acids. The cDNAs could be placed into...
