Abstract
The present invention relates to the identification of nucleic acid sequences and constructs, and methods related thereto, and the use of these sequences and constructs to produce genetically modified plants for the purpose of altering the composition of plant oils, waxes and related compounds.
Claims14
A seed of a transgenic plant, wherein said transgenic plant has integrated in its genome a DNA construct encoding oleate-12 hydroxylase as shown in SEQ ID NO:40, and wherein said DNA construct encoding oleate-12 hydroxylase is transcribed and translated to produce an increased percentage of hydroxylated fatty acids in said seed as compared to a seed of said plant not containing said DNA construct.
A seed of a transgenic plant, wherein said transgenic plant has incorporated in its genome a DNA construct encoding oleate-12 hydroxylase into said plant, wherein said DNA construct encodes amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:40, and wherein said DNA construct encoding oleate-12 hydroxylase is transcribed and translated to produce an increased percentage of a hydroxylated fatty acyl compound in said seed as compared to a seed of said plant not containing said DNA construct.
