ABSTRACT:
The invention provides plant fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) coding sequences. Also provided are constructs comprising these sequences, plants transformed therewith and methods of use thereof. The invention allows the modification of plants for FAAH activity and N-Acylethanolamine levels. Such modification may be used to produce plants that are improved with respect to growth, seed germination, pathogen response and stress tolerance.
