  • Increasing plant oil content by altering a negative regulator of acetyl-CoA carboxylase
    Patent number: 11959087
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and means to change fatty acid and ultimately triacylglycerol production in plants and algae. Methods of the invention comprise the step of altering the activity levels of the committed step for de novo fatty acid biosynthesis, acetyl-CoA carboxylases (ACCase). More specifically, methods of the invention directly enhance the activity of ACCase by down-regulating the biotin/lipoyl attachment domain containing (BADC) genes through biotechnology or selective breeding approaches.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 4, 2020
    Date of Patent: April 16, 2024
    Assignee: THE CURATORS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI
    Inventors: Jay Thelen, Matthew Salie
  • INCREASING PLANT OIL CONTENT BY IMPROVING ACTIVITY OF ACETYL COA CARBOXYLASE
    Publication number: 20230416760
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and means to change fatty acid and ultimately triacylglycerol production in plants and algae. Methods of the invention comprise the step of altering the activity levels of the committed step for de novo fatty acid biosynthesis, acetyl-CoA carboxylases (ACCase). More specifically, methods of the invention directly enhance the activity of ACCase by overexpression of ?-CT or a catalytic portion thereof.
