ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to novel nucleic acid and amino acid sequences associated with the metabolism of seed storage compounds in plants. More particularly novel lipid metabolism protein (LMP) sequences are provided herein. Preferably, the seed storage compounds are lipids, fatty acids, starches or seed storage proteins.
