ABSTRACT:
An isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a chalcone isomerase is disclosed. Also of concern is the synthesis of a recombinant DNA construct encoding all or a portion of the chalcone isomerase, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the recombinant DNA construct results in production of altered levels of the chalcone isomerase in a transformed host cell.
