Abstract
This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a sucrose phosphate synthase. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a portion of the sucrose phosphate synthase, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the sucrose phosphate synthase in a transformed host cell.
Claims9
An isolated polynucleotide comprising:
- (a) a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having sucrose phosphate synthase activity, wherein the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide and the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:16 have at least 95% identity based on the Clustal alignment method using the default parameters, or
- (b) the full complement of the nucleotide sequence.
