| Title | : | PLANT ACYL ACP THIOESTERASE SEQUENCES |
| Author | : | |
| Field belongs to | : | Soap & Detergent |
| Abstract | : | This invention relates to plant thioesterase, specifically plant acyl-ACP thioesterases having substantial activity on palmitoyl-ACP substrates. DNA constructs useful for the expression of a plant palmitoyl-ACP thioesterase in a plant seed cell are described. Such constructs will contain a DNA sequence encoding the plant palmitoyl-ACP thioesterase of interest under the control of regulatory elements capable of preferentially directing the expression of the plant palmitoyl-ACP thioesterase in seed tissue, as compared with other plant tissues, when su |
