Abstract
DNA sequences from potato which encode the enzyme solanidine UDP-glucose glucosyltransferase (SGT) are disclosed. Recombinant DNA molecules containing the sequences, and use thereof, in particular, use of an antisense DNA construct to inhibit the production of SGT and thereby reduce glycoalkaloid levels in solanaceous plants, e.g., potato, are described.
