Doubled sugar content in sugarcane plants modified to produce a sucrose isomer

L Wu, RG Birch - Plant biotechnology journal, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
Sucrose is the feedstock for more than half of the world's fuel ethanol production and a major
human food. It is harvested primarily from sugarcane and beet. Despite attempts through
conventional and molecular breeding, the stored sugar concentration in elite sugarcane
cultivars has not been increased for several decades. Recently, genes have been cloned for
bacterial isomerase enzymes that convert sucrose into sugars which are not metabolized by
plants, but which are digested by humans, with health benefits over sucrose. We …
