As an T-DNA oncogene， T- induces the development of tumors and the enation syndrome in vegetative tissues of transgenic plants. Most of these effects are related to increases in soluble sugar contents. To verify the potential roles of T-6b in the distribution of carbon in developing seeds， not in vegetative tissues， we fused an endosperm-specific promoter to the T- gene for expression in transgenic plants.
