Abstract
This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a sucrose transport protein. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a portion of the sucrose transport protein, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the sucrose transport protein in a transformed host cell.
Claims6
An isolated polynucleotide comprising:
- (a) a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having sucrose transport activity, wherein the polypeptide has an amino acid sequence of at least 95% sequence identity, based on the Clustal method of alignment, when compared to SEQ ID NO:20, or;
- (b) a complement of the nucleotide sequence of (a), wherein the complement and the nucleotide sequence consist of the same number of nucleotides and are 100% complementary.
