OLEOYL-ACYL-CARRIER-PROTEIN THIOESTERASES IN PLANTS

摘要

This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding an oleolyl-ACP thioesterase. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a portion of the oleolyl-ACP thioesterase, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the oleolyl-ACP thioesterase in a transformed host cell.
