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

Esta invenção relaciona-se a um fragmento isolado do ácido nucleic que codifica um enzyme biosynthetic do carotenoid. A invenção relaciona-se também à construção de um gene chimeric que codifica todo o ou uma parcela enzyme biosynthetic do carotenoid, no sentido ou na orientação do antisense, wherein a expressão do gene chimeric resulta na produção de níveis alterados do enzyme biosynthetic do carotenoid em uma pilha de anfitrião transformada.
