MOLECULAR CLONING AND SEQUENCING OF ACETYL CoA CARBOXYLASE (ACCase) GENE FROM JATROPHA CURCAS

摘要

The present invention relates to methods of increasing oil content in Jatropha Curcas L. plants. The invention further provides a partial and complete cDNA sequence encoding Jatropha acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACCase) and methods for cloning and expressing the Jatropha ACCase gene to produce transgenic plants with increased oil content.
