Abstract
Methods are provided that diminish UDPGdH expression in plant cells as compared to wild-type plant cells. These methods find use in increasing the nutritional value of animal feed and improving processes for extraction of starch from plant seeds. Also provided are expression vectors capable of diminishing UDPGdH expression in plant cells, and transgenic plants expressing diminished levels of UDPGdH.
