NUCLEIC ACIDS ENCODING A PLANT ENZYME INVOLVED IN VERY LONG CHAIN FATTY ACID SYNTHESIS

摘要

Nucleic acid molecules encoding an enzyme involved in very long chain fatty acid (VLCFA) elongation in plants are disclosed. The invention includes a cDNA, genomic clone and encoded protein, as well as plants having modified VLCFA composition, such as modified epicuticular waxes, and methods of making such plants.
