Overexpression of a human alpha3/4-fucosyltransferase alters pollen development in transgenic tobacco plants.

2002-08-01

Abstract excerpt

. In plants, the function of &#334-fucosylation remains largely unknown. To gain insight into the role of &#334-fucosylation during plant development, we generated transgenic tobacco plants overexpressing the human &#333/4-fucosyltransferase (hFuc-TIII). Overexpressors clearly contained high amounts of hFuc-TIII and revealed a strong increase in &#33(1,4)fucosyltransferase activity in plant sexual organs. As a con...
