Abstract excerpt
We identified a mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana ectotype Col-O in which significantly reduced levels of expression of the gene for beta-amylase (AT beta-Amy) were detected in leaves in response to high concentrations of sucrose, glucose or fructose. Genetic studies, including a cross with transgenic plants that harbored the AT beta-Amy:GUS transgene with the promoter of AT beta-Amy, indicated that this phenotype...
