DGAT genes for increased seed storage lipid production and altered fatty acid profiles in oilseed plants

Abstract:

Transgenic oilseeds having increased total fatty acid content of at least 10% and altered fatty acid profiles when compared to the total fatty acid content of null segregant oilseeds are described. Novel DGAT genes are used to achieve the increase in seed storage lipids.
