The present invention relates to genes encoding vegetable acyl-CoA synthetases, and methods for their use. In particular, the present invention relates to plant acyl-coenzyme A synthetases. The present invention comprises both natural and wild-type forms of recombinant enzymes, as well as mutant forms and variants; some of which have altered characteristics related to the wild-type enzyme. The present invention relates to methods for using acyl-CoA synthetases, including altered expression in transgenic plants and expression in prokaryotes and cell culture systems. |
