RESUMEN
Here we describe the generation of potato plants that constitutively overexpressed, UDP-N-acetylglucosamine:dolichol phosphate-N-acetylglucosamine-phosphotransferase (GPT). Such transgenic plants can be formed in a medium with tunicamycin at 9.8 ± 0.28% efficiency, similar to the 9.4 ± 1.10 for the bialaphos resistance gene (Bar) gene. This study indicated that GPT transformation was very stable with high reproducibility, and that growth and tuber production in the GPT-transformed plants were stronger than in the wild-type plants.
