AB - The full-length sense cDNA for sweet potato granule-bound starch synthase I (GBSSI) driven by the CaMV 35S promoter was introduced into the sweet potato by Agrobacterium tumefaciens- mediated transformation. Out of the 26 transgenic plants obtained, one plant showed the absence of amylose in the tuberous root as determined by the iodine colorimetric method. Electrophoresis analysis failed to detect the GBSSI protein, suggesting that gene silencing of the GBSSI gene occurred in the transgenic sweet potato plant. These results demonstrate that starch composition in the tuberous root of sweet potato can be altered by genetic transformation.
