Abstract
This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a sulfate assimilation protein. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a portion of the sulfate assimilation protein, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the sulfate assimilation protein in a transformed host cell.
Claims6
An isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a serine O-acetyltransferase comprising:
- (a) a nucleotide sequence encoding an amino acid sequence of at least 90% sequence identity, based on the Clustal method of alignment, when compared to one of SEQ ID NOs:
- 12 or 14;
- or
- (b) a full complement of the nucleotide sequence of (a).
