Abstract
This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding corn (Zea maize) and soybean (Glycine max) enoyl-ACP reductase. The invention also relates to the construction of a recombinant DNA construct encoding all or a portion of the enoyl-ACP reductase, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the recombinant DNA construct results in production of altered levels of the enoyl-ACP reductase in a transformed host cell.
Claims17
An isolated polynucleotide comprising:
- (a) a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having enoyl-ACP reductase activity, wherein the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide and the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 2 or 8 have at least 86% sequence identity, or
- (b) the complement of the nucleotide sequence of (a).
An isolated polypeptide having enoyl-ACP reductase activity, wherein the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide and the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 2 or 8 have at least 86% identity.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
