Abstract:
1. An isolated polynucleotide comprising a nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of: a) a nucleotide sequence encoding the polypeptide set forth in SEQ ID NO:48; b) a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having at least 95% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:48, wherein expression of said polypeptide in a plant or plant part thereof increases the oil content or oleic acid content of said plant or plant part, and wherein said polypeptide comprises a phenylalanine residue at the amino acid position corresponding to residue 469 of SEQ ID NO:48; c) a nucleotide sequence comprising at least 12 consecutive nucleotides of SEQ ID NO:47 or a complement thereof, wherein said polynucleotide can detect a polymorphism in a marker locus associated with high oil content and/or high oleic acid content, and wherein said nucleotide sequence further comprises nucleotides 1405-1407 of SEQ ID NO:47.
