Elevated Sucrose-phosphate Synthase Activity in Source Leaves of Potato Plants Transrformed with the Maize SPS Gene

Elevated Sucrose-phosphate Synthase Activity in Source Leaves of Potato Plants Transrformed with the Maize SPS Gene

Sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS) activity in source leaves of potato plants (Solanum tuberosum cv. May Queen) transformed with maize SPS gene under the control of a modified cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter was two to four times higher than the endogenous activity found in the control. A...
