Abstract
The capacity of a plant to produce fatty acids is modulated by controlling the expression of a gene specifying the acetyl CoA carboxylase biotin carboxyl carrier protein. Modulation may comprise increasing the expression of the gene by insertion of additional copies into the genome or inhibiting expression by insertion of an antisense or cosuppression vector directed against the endogenous gene.
