Abstract
The aim of this work is to quantify the contribution of phosphofructokinase to the regulation of glycolysis. Potato plants will be transformed with chimeric genes containing appropriate segments of cDNA encoding individual phosphofructokinase polypeptides in the antisense orientation. This will reduce the activities of specific forms of phosphofructokinase in vivo. Metabolic control analysis will be carried out on transgenic plants that differ in their levels of specific forms of phosphofructokinase.
