Engineering Potato Starch with a Higher Phosphate Content

The suppression of GBSSI in transformants with red-stained granules.
(a) The correlation between amylose content and the relative expression of granule-bound starch synthase I (GBSSI). The qRT-PCR analysis was performed on control UT and 5 random-selected transgenic tubers from each series, containing transformants with 8 red-stained starches and 7 blue-stained starches. (b) Western blot analysis of GBSSI abundance in starches from different transformants. The corresponding amylose content of each line is shown between brackets.
