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

Plant caffeic acid 3-O-methyltransferase homologs

A method for producing site-specific recombination of DNA in plant cells. A first DNA sequence comprising a first lox site and a second DNA sequence comprising a second lox site are introduced into the cells. The lox sites are contacted with Cre to produce recombination. Also disclosed are related plasmids, transformed plant cells, and plants containing the transformed cells.
