ResumoThe aim of this study was to investigate the importance of pyrophosphate (PPi) for plant metabolism and survival under low oxygen stress. Responses of roots of wild-type potato plants were compared with roots of transgenic plants containing decreased amounts of PPi as a result of the constitutive expression of Escherichia coli pyrophosphatase in the cytosol.
