Abstract
This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a transcription factor. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a portion of the transcription factor, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of accumulated oil in a transformed host cell.
Claims9
An isolated polynucleotide comprising:
- (a) a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide, wherein the polypeptide comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:6, or
- (b) the complement of the nucleotide sequence in (a), wherein the complement and the nucleotide sequence in (a) contain the same number of nucleotides and are 100% complementary;
- wherein a plant transformed with said isolated polynucleotide exhibits an over-accumulation of oils in tissues of the plant wherein the polynucleotide is expressed when compared to a plant that does not have said polynucleotide.
