ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides novel transgenic plants with altered sugar levels and methods for producing them. The methods comprise introducing into the plant an expression cassette comprising a promoter sequence operably linked to a polynucleotide sequence substantially identical to a sequence from a gene encoding a protein associated with sucrose biosynthesis.
