Potato modified for decreased gibberellin production
EN
3 independent lines
No
Potato plants were modified to constitutively express gibberellin 2-beta-dioxygenase from Arabidopsis thaliana, which codes for an enzyme that metabolizes intermediary compounds in the gibberellin biosynthesis pathway leading to the degradation of active gibberellin.

The constitutive expression of the gibberellin 2-beta-dioxygenase leads to the production of biologically inactive gibberellins in the genetically modified potato plants leading to the formation of plants that are characterized by a considerable growth retardation.
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.
