摘要:
The invention relates to the genes encoding 3-oxoacyl-nullacyl carrier protein(ACP)null reductase (OAR). Compositions and methods for producing polyhydroxyalkanoate in transformed plants and transformed host cells are provided. Such methods find use in producing biodegradable thermoplastics in host cells and plants. Isolated nucleotide molecules, expression cassettes, isolated polypeptides and genetically manipulated host cells, plants, plant tissues, plant cells and seeds are also provided.
摘要:
The invention relates to the genetic manipulation of plants to increase oil accumulation in plant tissues, particularly seeds. Methods for decreasing null-oxidation in plants and optimizing oil accumulation in a seeds are provided. The methods find use in increasing the accumulation of oil or particular oil constituents in plant seeds. Isolated nucleotide molecules, isolated proteins, expression cassettes and transformed plants, plant tissues and plant cells are additionally provided.
