ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides methods of synthesizing cellulose in the storage tissue of transgenic plants by introducing the cellulose biosynthetic enzymes into the storage tissue. Specifically, the present invention involves introducing the genes for cellulose biosynthesis from the species Acetobacter xylinium into a given plant under the control of storage tissue specific promoters.
