Aromatic amino acid catabolism enzymes

摘要

This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding an aromatic amino acid catabolic enzyme. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a portion of the aromatic amino acid catabolic enzyme, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the aromatic amino acid catabolic enzyme in a transformed host cell.
