PCT No. PCT/FR95/00465 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 24, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 24, 1997 PCT Filed Apr. 11, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/27790 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 19, 1995DNA sequences comprising, as coding region, all or part of the nucleotide sequence coding for an mRNA coding for a cinnamoyl CoA reductase (CCR), or all or part of the complementary nucleotide sequence thereof and coding for an anti-sense mRNA capable of hybridizing with the above-mentioned mRNA. The invention also concerns the use of said sequences for carrying out methods of regulation of plant lignin biosynthesis.
