Abstract

This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a wheat brittle-1-like protein. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a portion of the wheat brittle-1-like protein, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the wheat brittle-1-like protein in a transformed host cell.
