Description
In the genetically modified potato plants a fragment of the endogenous cytoplamatic phosphoglucomutase is constitutively expressed in an antisense orientation.

As a result of the genetic modification, the stem growth, root growth and starch content varies between the independent lines depending on the level of expression. The sucrose content in the leaves and tubers is comparable to or lower than in the parent variety.
Recipient Organism or Parental Organisms
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.
Solanum tuberosum - Potato, SOLTU
