The present invention also resides in host cells, including bacterial or yeast cells or plant cells, and plants that harbor constructs such as described above. Another aspect of the invention relates to methods for modulating expression of specific genes in plants by expression of the coding sequence of the constructs, by regulation of expression of one or more endogenous genes in a plant or by suppression of expression of the polynucleotides of the invention in a plant. Methods of modulation of gene expression include, without limitation, (1) inserting into a host cell additional copies of a polynucleotide comprising a coding sequence; (2) modulating an endogenous promoter in a host cell; (3) inserting antisense or ribozyme constructs into a host cell; and (4) inserting into a host cell a polynucleotide comprising a sequence encoding a variant, fragment, or fusion of the native polypeptides of the instant invention.
