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 synthase activity and an increase in the level of free inositol of over four-fold compared to wild-type plants. Despite...
