Abstract:
1. An isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding a phospholipid:diacylglycerol acyltransferase enzyme, selected from the group consisting of: (a) an isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding the amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:46; (b) an isolated nucleic acid molecule that hybridizes with (a) under the following hybridization conditions: 0.1×SSC, 0.1% SDS, 65° C. and washed with 2×SSC, 0.1% SDS followed by 0.1×SSC, 0.1% SDS; (c) an isolated nucleic acid molecule that is completely complementary to (a) or (b); and, (d) an isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a first nucleotide sequence encoding a phospholipid:diacylglycerol acyltransferase enzyme of at least 648 amino acids that has at least 95% identity based on the Clustal W method of alignment when compared to a polypeptide having the sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:46 or a second nucleotide sequence comprising the complement of the first nucleotide sequence.
