METHODS FOR REGULATING BETA-OXIDATION IN PLANTS

摘要

The invention relates to the genetic manipulation of plants to increase oil accumulation in plant tissues, particularly seeds. Methods for decreasing beta -oxidation in plants and optimizing oil accumulation in a seeds are provided. The methods find use in increasing the accumulation of oil in particular oil constituents in plant seeds. Isolated nucleotide molecules, osilated proteins, expression cassettes and transformed plants, plant tissues and plant cells are additionally provided.
