Potato modified for altered fructan metabolism
EN
35S-SST/FFT
No
The sucrose:sucrose-1-fructosyl transferase gene and the fructan-fructan-1-fructosyl transferase from Cynara scolymus code for enzymes involved in fructan metabolism. Potato plants were modified to constitutively express these genes leading to the production of the trisaccharide, kestose, the tetrasaccharide, nystose as well as fructans
EN
The term “Recipient organism” refers to an organism (either already modified or non-modified) that was subjected to genetic modification, whereas “Parental organisms” refers to those that were involved in cross breeding or cell fusion.
