agriculture | expression of Escherichia coli homoserine kinase in Solanum tuberosum plants with targeting to chloroplast and cytosol. Both approaches result in up to 11fold increase in total enzyme activity. Transgenic plants exhibit reduced homoserine levels while methionine and threonine do not accumulate significantly. Plants with elevated levels of cytosolic enzyme exhibit a reduction in transcript levels of the endogenous homoserine kinase, as well as of threonine synthase, cystathionine beta-lyase, and methionine synthase. In all plants, cystathionine gamma-synthase expression remains unchanged, while S-adenosylmethionine synthetase expression increases. Excess of plastidial localized homoserine kinase does not influence the de novo synthesis of methionine and threonine | Escherichia coli |
