In order to explore a biotechnological method for improving potato tuber color and creating plants with increased anthocyanin contents, a potato UDP-glucose: flavonoid-3-O-glucosyltransferase (3GT)gene was inserted behind the GBSSI prom oter of pBin19, and this construct was introduced into Solanum tuberosum L. cultivar De´sire´e plants by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Six independent transgenic lines overexpressing the 3GT gene were identified by PCR and Southern blot analysis from 18 kanamycin-resistant plants. Due to the expression of 3GT gene, the tuber color and the anthocyanin content were enhanced noticeably in the transgenic plants compared to the wild-type control plants. This result suggests that the 3GT gene can potentially be used to improve potato color and enhance levels of antioxidants in the diet POTATO 3GT GENE ANTHOCYANIN TRANSFORMATION https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JtUdJOvrLvWm9I2rtD2hC4UyF8SbQ5Fb/view?usp=drivesdk https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JtUdJOvrLvWm9I2rtD2hC4UyF8SbQ5Fb/view?usp=drivesdk 250602 20260521091422.0
