ABSTRACT:
Plants, particularly transgenic plants, may be produced having a 2-acyltransferase enzyme or other insoluble acyltransferase enzyme with an altered substrate specificity compared to the native enzyme. For example, oil seed rape (Brassica napus) may contain a 2-acyltransferase transgene derived from Limnanthes douglassi in order to increase the erucic acid content of the oil. The cDNA sequence of maize (Zea mays) 2-acyltransferase is disclosed and is useful for cloning acyltransferase genes and/or cDNAs from other organisms, including L. douglassi.
