Abstract

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