Abstract
The aim is to study the role played by compartmentation of the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway in plastids and cytosol in meeting the demands of other metabolic pathways for which it supplies substrates. Tobacco plants will be transformed with the gene for chloroplastic glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase. Using sense/antisense technology, altered glucose 6- phosphate dehydrogenase activity will be directed into plastids and the consequences for metabolism and growth determined in plants grown under continuous illumination or growing in a dark/light cycle.
