Granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS) is transformed in an antisense orientation into potato leading to a decrease in the synthesis of endogenous GBSS. Due to the decreased amount of GBSS protein, a starch with reduced amylose content is synthesised in the tubers.

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.

Notes about the Transcriptional regulator(s) specific to this LMO
The fragment of the coding region of a potato starch synthase gene (granule-bound starch synthase, GBSS) in antisense orientation (plasmid pAP2) is expressed under the control of its own gbss promoter primarily in the potato tuber.
In the genetically modified plants, the formation of a double-stranded RNA is effected, which causes inactivation of the endogenous transcript of the respective gene, thus inhibiting production of the GBSS enzyme.
