Date Oct. 19, 1995DNA sequences comprising, as coding region, all or part of the nucleotide sequence coding for an mRNA coding for a cinnamoyl CoA reductase (CCR), or all or part of the complementary nucleotide sequence thereof and coding for an anti-sense mRNA capable of hybridizing with the above-mentioned mRNA. The invention also concerns the use of said sequences for carrying out methods of regulation of plant lignin biosynthesis.
