Claim 0:
1. A genetically modified plant comprising at least one cell having altered expression of a gene encoding a GAME15 cellulose synthase like protein compared to its expression in a corresponding unmodified plant, wherein the genetically modified plant has an altered content of at least one steroidal alkaloid or a glycosylated derivative thereof, or of at least one steroidal saponin or a glycosylated derivative thereof, compared to the corresponding unmodified plant, wherein
(a) the amino acid sequence of the cellulose synthase like protein of the corresponding unmodified plant comprises amino acid sequence set forth in any one of SEQ ID NOS: 33, 35, 37, 39, 42, or 43; or
(b) the polynucleotide encoding the cellulose synthase like protein of the corresponding unmodified plant comprises the nucleic acid sequence set forth in any one of SEQ ID NOS: 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, or 42.
