Characterization of a Maize Sucrose–phosphate Synthase Protein and Its Effect on Carbon Partitioning in Transgenic Rice Plants

Characterization of a Maize Sucrose–phosphate Synthase Protein and Its Effect on Carbon Partitioning in Transgenic Rice Plants

We obtained transgenic rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Nipponbare) plants with the gene for maize sucrose-phosphate synthase (EC 2.4.1.14, SPS). Some of the transgenic plants over-expressed maize SPS (over-expressing plants) and some had reduced levels of native SPS protein (co-suppressed plants). There w...
