  • ENRICHMENT OF OILS WITH POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS
    Publication number: 20160298148
    Abstract: The present invention relates to isolated phospholipid:diacylglycerol acyltransferases (PDAT) and polynucleotide sequences encoding the PDAT enzymes; polynucleotide constructs, vectors and host cells incorporating the polynucleotide sequences; and methods of producing and using same. Also provided are transformed cells and transgenic plants with enhanced oil accumulation and quality.

  • Modified oleosins
    Publication number: 20070006343
    Abstract: The present invention describes novel polypeptide structures based on oleosin molecules which are capable of being targeted to oil bodies in plants. The modified oleosin polypeptides are obtained by performing modifications in the hydrophobic domain encoding sequence of an oleosin cDNA. The present invention describes methods to obtain such polypeptides in vivo. The novel oleosins may be used to deliver a recombinant (non-oleosin) protein to oil bodies.
