Abstract
This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a portion of the geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase in a transformed host cell.
Claims13
An isolated polynucleotide comprising:
- (a) a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase activity, wherein the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide and the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:38 have at least 90% sequence identity, or
- (b) the complement of the nucleotide sequence, wherein the complement and the nucleotide sequence contain the same number of nucleotides and are 100% complementary.
