Abstract
Pea seeds, produced from peas of the rug3rug3 genotype, substantially lacking plastidial phosphoglucomutase activity which have higher sucrose levels at the end of the vining period and may be vined over and extended period compared to conventional vining varieties are provided. Polynucleootides encoding pea plastidial phosphoglucomutase useful for altering the sucrose and starch content of plants, particularly peas, are also disclosed.
