		Pyrimidines are particularly important in dividing tissues as building blocks for nucleic acids, but they are equally important for many biochemical processes, including sucrose and cell wall polysaccharide metabolism.
		In the case of the enzymes of the pyrimidine pathway, the relatively small reduction of transcript and protein is clearly due to an incomplete inhibition of expression because each of these genes is encoded by a single gene.
		As purines and pyrimidines are affected in the same way, it is presumably not a direct effect of the inhibition of pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthesis but an indirect effect due to adjustments in growth and physiology.

		Inhibition of De Novo Pyrimidine Synthesis in Growing Potato Tubers Leads to a Compensatory Stimulation of the Pyrimidine Salvage Pathway and a Subsequent Increase in Biosynthetic Performance(W) Pyrimidine nucleotides are of general importance for many aspects of cell function, but their role in the regulation of biosynthetic processes is still unclear.
		This shift in the pathways of UMP synthesis was accompanied by increased levels of tuber uridine nucleotides, increased fluxes of [^sup 14^C]sucrose to starch and cell wall synthesis, and increased amounts of starch and cell wall components in the tubers, whereas there were no changes in uridine nucleotide levels in leaves.
		UMPS is one of the key enzymes of de novo pyrimidine synthesis and is often regarded, both in mammalian and plant systems, as a key regulatory step of the pathway (Santoso and Thornburg, 1992; Traut and Jones, 1996).
