Part I of this research concerns patterns of gene expression of ADPG-PP in native and transgenic potato plants. The expression of both potato ADPG-PP subunits were analyzed on the transcript and antigen levels. The small and large subunits were coordinately expressed during tuber development suggesting a role for the temporal regulation of ADPG-PP expression as well as providing further support for earlier work in the heterotetrameric subunit structure of the tuber enzyme. Part II involves studies on the structure-function relationships of ADPG-PP, more specifically the mutagenesis of the large and small subunit DNAs of ADPG-PP.
