NUCLEIC ACID ENCODING A PLANT VERY LONG CHAIN FATTY ACID BIOSYNTHETIC ENZYME

摘要

A genomic DNA sequence encoding a condensing enzyme involved in very long chain fatty acid production in plants is provided. Applications for the isolated nucleic acid sequence to include the expression of the condensing enzyme of the present invention in seeds, which would allow the production of crop plants, which are capable of synthesizing hydroxylated very long chain fatty acids in seed oil for industrial applications.
