Engineered zinc finger proteins targeting plant genes involved in fatty acid biosynthesis

摘要

The disclosure relates generally to the fields of the genome engineering and protein expression in plants. In particular, the present disclosure relates to engineered DNA-binding domains, for example, zinc finger proteins, that target genes involved in fatty acid synthesis and methods of using such zinc finger proteins in modulating genes expression, gene inactivation, and targeted gene modification to generate plants with altered fatty acid profiles.
