Patent ID: 8809624

Claim:
A plant cell, plant, plant seed or other plant part, comprising an incorporated construct, said incorporated construct comprising a nucleic acid, wherein the nucleic acid (1) comprises a sequence selected from the group consisting of: (a) SEQ ID No: 10, (b) SEQ ID No: 38, (c) SEQ ID No: 26, (d) SEQ ID No: 27, and (e) a variant of SEQ ID No: 38, wherein the variant is different from SEQ ID No: 38 as a consequence of one or more nucleotide changes and wherein all of the changes result in conservative amino acid substitutions, with the proviso that the variant of SEQ ID No: 38 has at least 95% sequence identity with SEQ ID No: 38; and encodes a diacylglycerol acyl transferase (DGAT-1); or (2) comprises an inhibitory nucleic acid effective to reduce expression of diacylglycerol acyl transferase (DGAT-1), wherein the inhibitory nucleic acid is complementary to the full-length of a sequence listed in (a) through (e) above; and wherein the construct alters the phenotype of the plant by altering expression levels of DGAT-1.
