  • Title: Modulation of fatty acid biosynthesis by antisense beta-keto reductase expression.
    Author: O'hara P, Slabas AR, Fawcett T.
    Journal: Biochem Soc Trans; 2000 Dec; 28(6):613-5. PubMed ID: 11171143.
    Abstract:
    Plants with an antisense construct to beta-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein reductase have reduced seed and leaf fatty acid contents and show distinct phenotypes, including leaf curl, stunted growth and wrinkled seeds. The carbon resource allocation is altered in both of these tissues. In leaves there is an inability to synthesize transient starch and in seeds embryogenesis is foreshortened and storage proteins accumulate prematurely.
