Offspring of the crosses of two anti-sense potato plants exhibit additive cellulose reduction
Two transgenic potato lines, csr2-1 and csr4-8, containing two different antisense genes: csr2 and csr4,
respectively, were crossed to investigate the possibility of achieving reduction in cellulose content in
the tuber cell walls of the progeny. The progeny containing both transgenes (double csr2/csr4
transformant) exhibited reduction of 63% in cell wall cellulose content, while the single...
