Abstract

A method of inhibiting gene expression in is described. The method, which affects enzymatic activity in a plant, involves expressing in a plant, or a cell, cell line, tissue, or an organ thereof, a nucleotide sequence wherein the nucleotide sequence codes for an intron, or an intron fragment, of an SBE gene in a sense orientation; and wherein the nucleotide sequence does not contain a sequence that is sense to an exon sequence normally associated with the intron.
