Plastidic carbonic anhydrase genes for oil augmentation in seeds with increased DGAT expression

摘要

Recombinant DNA constructs comprise plastidic carbonic anhydrase coding sequences operably linked to polynucleotides encoding DGAT or transcription factors such as ODP1. These constructs can be used to increase oil content in plants and seeds to levels that are not achieved with DGAT alone.;Methods of generating plants containing the constructs and for increasing oil content in the seeds of an oilseed plant are also disclosed.
