Polynucleotides encoding monocot 12-oxo-phytodienoate reductases and methods of use

摘要

The invention relates to the genetic manipulation of plants, particularly to the expression of genes involved in oxylipin metabolism in plants. Nucleotide sequences encoding homologues of Old Yellow Enzyme, and inducible promoters and proteins thereof, are provided. The sequences find use in modifying oxylipin metabolism in plants, increasing the resistance of plants to stress, regulating gene expression in plants, and in the production of oxylipins in plants.
