- Intervention effect In desA-transformed potato the number of grana per chloroplast increased substantially compared with wild-type plants.
- Intervention effect The number of plastoglobules per chloroplast in desA-transformed potato increased by 25% compared with wild-type plants.
- Mechanism Increased grana, thylakoids and plastoglobules in desA-licBM3 potato indicate more intense lipid metabolism, which conserved part of the lipids in plastoglobules.
- Intervention effect Expression of the heterologous desA gene positively influenced the stabilisation of both structure and function of chloroplast membranes in potato.
- Intervention effect Expression of the heterologous desA gene prevented electron transfer from the ETR to oxygen and ROS generation in potato at hypothermia.
