Abstract
The present invention provides and includes nucleic acids, proteins and antibodies associated with novel genes in the MEP pathway. The invention further encompasses methods utilizing such molecules, for example in gene isolation, gene analysis and the production of transgenic plants. The present invention also includes transgenic plants modified to express proteins associated with the MEP pathway.
Claims8
A substantially purified nucleic acid molecule that encodes a protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:48.
A method of producing a transgenic plant having seed with an altered isoprenoid compound level comprising:
- (A) transforming a plant with a nucleic acid molecule to produce a transgenic plant, wherein the nucleic acid molecule encodes a protein with the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 48 and (B) growing the transgenic plant.
