Abstract excerpt
Inhibition of starch biosynthesis in transgenic potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Désirée) plants (by virtue of antisense inhibition of ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase) has recently been reported to influence tuber formation and drastically reduce dry matter content of tubers, indicating a reduction...
