Abstract excerpt
Granule-bound starch synthase [GBSS; EC 24.1.21] determines the presence of amylose in reserve starches. Potato plants were transformed to produce antisense RNA from a gene construct containing a full-length granule-bound starch synthase cDNA in reverse orientation, fused between the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter and the nopaline synthase terminator. The construct was integrated into the potato genome by...
