(57) Abstract The present invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding an enzyme involved in lipid biosynthesis. The present invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a portion of an enzyme involved in lipid biosynthesis in the sense or antisense orientation, wherein the expression of the chimeric gene is in a transformed host. This results in the production of altered levels of enzymes involved in lipid biosynthesis in the cell. |
