malfunction | transgenic Solanum tuberosum roots are altered in their hexokinase activity by transformation with an hexokinase cDNA in sense or antisense orientation. Altering root hexokinase activity levels impacts on growth rate and hexokinase has a high flux control coefficient over glucose phosphorylation but does not control glycolytic flux or respiration rate. It is concluded that futile cycling of hexose-phosphate can be partially responsible for the differences in energetic status in roots with high and low hexokinase activity and possibly cause the observed alterations in growth in transgenic roots | Solanum tuberosum |
