PLANTS AND SEEDS WITH ALTERED STORAGE COMPOUND LEVELS, RELATED CONSTRUCTS AND METHODS INVOLVING GENES ENCODING PROTEINS WITH SIMILARITY TO BACTERIAL 2,4-DIHYDROXY-HEPT-2-ENE-1,7-DIOIC ACID CLASS II-LIKE ALDOLASE PROTEINS

摘要

This invention is in the field of plant molecular biology. More specifically, this invention pertains to isolated nucleic acid fragments encoding proteins with similarity to bacterial 2,4-dihydroxy-hept-2-ene-1,7-dioic acid class II-like aldolase proteins in plants and seeds and the use of such fragments to modulate expression of a gene encoding proteins with similarity to bacterial 2,4-dihydroxy-hept-2-ene-1,7-dioic acid class II-like aldolase proteins in a transformed host cell.
