Abstract:
A DNA construct comprising a first DNA sequence encoding a coconut plant 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase peptide joined to a second DNA sequence heterologous to said first DNA sequence, wherein said first DNA sequence is obtainable by:(i) contacting, under polymerase chain reaction conditions, (a) an oligonucleotide primer encoding six contiguous amino acids of the peptide represented as SEQ ID NO: 1 (b) DNA from a coconut plant 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase source and (c) a second oligonucleotide primer;(ii) recovering a DNA sequence which encodes a plant 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase peptide.
