Abstract excerpt

In this paper, we report on the generation of transgenic Arabidopsis plants containing elevated levels of the gene product encoding the enzyme catalysing the first committed step in inositol biosynthesis, D-myo-inositol-3-phosphate (Ins3P) synthase. These plants exhibit both an increase in Ins3P...
