Engineering α-amylase levels in wheat grain suggests a highly sophisticated level of carbohydrate regulation during development.

Of the measured plant growth and grain yield characteristics (total biomass, spike biomass, vegetative biomass, total seed weight, thousand grain weight and total spikes) there were no significant effects due to presence of the overexpression construct, except for a weakly significant ( P =0.03) decrease in thousand grain weight for positive lines.
