    Notes: Abstract The aim of this work was to discover whether genetic manipulation of 6-phosphofructokinase [EC 2.7.1.11; PFK(ATP)] influenced the rate of respiration of tuber tissue of Solanum tuberosum L. Transgenic plants were produced that contained the coding sequence of the Escherichia coli pfkA gene linked to a patatin promoter. Expression of this chimaeric gene in tubers resulted in a 14to 21-fold increase in the maximum catalytic activity of PFK(ATP) without affecting the activities of the other glycolytic enzymes. Tubers, and ‘aged’ disks of tuber tissue, from transformed plants showed no more than a 30% fall in the content of hexose 6-monophosphates; the other intermediates of glycolysis increased threeto eightfold. Fructose-2,6-bisphosphate was barely detectable in aged disks of transformed tubers. The relative rates of 14CO2 production from [1-14C]-and [6-14C]-glucose supplied to disks of transformed and control tubers were similar. Oxygen uptake and CO2 production by aged disks of transformed tubers did not differ significantly from those from control tubers. The same was true of CO2 production, in air, and in nitrogen, for tuber tissue. It is concluded that PFK(ATP) does not dominate the control of respiration in potato tubers.

    Notes: Summary Forty-two potato plants were regenerated from a hairy-root line obtained after infection of a shoot of Solanum tuberosum cv ‘Desiree’ with Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain LBA 9402 (pRil855). Transformed plants were uniform and had a distinct phenotype and development compared with untransformed controls. Their growth was vigorous, especially early in their development, their roots were abundant and showed reduced geotropism, their leaves were slightly crinkled and glossy and they produced longer tubers with more frequent, prominent eyes. Cytological examination showed that ten of the forty-two transformed plants had either 47 or 49 chromosomes instead of the normal 48. In two of these aneuploids structural changes were observed.

    Notes: Summary Derivatives of potato (Solanum tuberosum cv.'s ‘Maris Bard’ and ‘Desiree’) transformed with disarmed T-DNA from genetically engineered Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains were isolated. The transformed plants were recovered from shoot-forming tumours induced by infection of wounds with mixedcultures of shoot-inducing A. tumefaciens strains T37 and either Agrobacterium strain LBA1834(pRAL1834), (Hille et al. 1983) or LBA4404(pBIN6; pRAL4404), (Bevan 1984). Two small-scale feasibility experiments gave at least four ‘Maris Bard’ plants transformed with pRAL1834 T-DNA and two ‘Desiree’ plants with pBIN6 T-DNA. The transformed ‘Maris Bard’ plants were morphologically abnormal and highly aneuploid. This was probably an unfortunate side-effect of a tissue culture-step introduced to promote the efficiency of shoot regeneration. The transformed ‘Desiree’ plants, in contrast, were isolated without promoting additional shoot-growth. They were morphologically normal, contained 47 and the euploid 48 chromosomes per cell respectively and had improved growth on media containing kanamycin.
