nutrition | design of a silencing construct that simultaneously targets the expression of both isoforms StAs1and StAs2. Tubers of the transformed intragenic plants contain up to 20fold reduced levels of free asparagine. This coincides with a small increase in the formation of glutamine and does not affect tuber shape or yield. Heat-processed products derived from the low-asparagine tubers are indistinguishable from their untransformed counterparts in terms of sensory characteristics. However, both French fries and potato chips accumulate as little as 5% of the acrylamide present in wild-type controls | Solanum tuberosum |
