Claim:
1. An NtHMA RNAi construct that inhibits the expression of an NtHMA messenger RNA to which it corresponds, wherein the construct comprises a heterologous promoter and: (a) a first sequence having at least 95% sequence identity to a sequence selected from the group consisting of: (b) a second sequence having at least 95% sequence identity to a sequence selected from the group consisting of: (c) a third sequence having at least 95% sequence identity to a sequence selected from the group consisting of: wherein the third sequence is the reverse complementary sequence of the first sequence, wherein said fragments are at least 30 contiguous nucleotides of the respective SEQ ID NO; and wherein the second sequence is positioned between the first sequence and the third sequence, and the second sequence is operably-linked to the first sequence and to the third sequence.
