Abstract

This invention relates to isolated nucleic acid fragments encoding pantothenate synthetases. The invention also relates to the construction of chimeric genes encoding all or a portion of the pantothenate synthetases, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric genes results in production of altered levels of the pantothenate synthetases in transformed host cells.
