This invention relates to isolated nucleic acid fragments encoding fructosyltransferases. More specifically, this invention relates to polynucleotides encoding 1-FFTs, 6-SFTs, or 1-SSTs. The invention also relates to the construction of a recombinant DNA constructs encoding all or a portion of the fructosyltransferases, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the recombinant DNA construct results in production of altered levels of the fructosyltransferases in a transformed host cell.

Fructan biosynthetic enzymes

An isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a plastidic phosphoglucomutase protein is disclosed. Also disclosed is the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a substantial portion of the plastidic phosphoglucomutase, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the plastidic phosphoglucomutase in a transformed host cell.

Plastidic phosphoglucomutase genes

Fructan Biosynthetic Enzymes

Isolated nucleic acid fragments encoding galactinol synthase are disclosed. Recombinant DNA construct(s) for use in altering expression of endogenous genes encoding galactinol synthase are also disclosed.

Plant galactinol synthase homologs

The promoters of a soybean seed maturation protein PM29 and a soybean late-embryogenesis abundant protein LEA3 and fragments thereof and their use in promoting the expression of one or more heterologous nucleic acid fragments in plants are described.
