ABSTRACT:
Methods and compositions are provided for producing plant fatty acids employing mixtures of enzymes, where the composition is modified by reducing or enhancing the relative proportion of one or more enzymes or adding an exogenous enzyme. Particularly, compositions can be produced having enhanced amounts of fatty acids containing 14 or fewer carbon atoms using thioesterase II or acyl carrier protein.
