Claims
- 1. An isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleic acid sequence that encodes a polypeptide that is at least about 50% identical to one selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 14, 18, 20, 22, and 24.
- 2. The isolated nucleic acid molecule of claim 1, wherein the polypeptide is selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 14, 18, 20, 22, and 24.
- 3. An isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleic acid sequence that is at least about 75% identical to one selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 11, 12, 13, 16, 17, 19, 21, and 23.
- 4. The isolated nucleic acid molecule of claim 3, wherein the nucleic acid sequence is selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 11, 12, 13, 16, 17, 19, 21, and 23.
- 5. A DNA construct comprising an expression cassette comprising a heterologous promoter that functions in a plant cell operably linked to a nucleic acid molecule of claim 1 or claim 3.
- 6. The DNA construct of claim 5, further comprising a second expression cassette wherein said second expression cassette comprises a second heterologous promoter that functions in a plant cell operably linked to a nucleic acid that encodes a polypeptide for a diacylglyderol acyltransferase.
- 7. A plant or seed comprising the DNA construct of claim 5.
- 8. The plant or seed of claim 7, wherein the plant or seed is selected from the group consisting of maize, soybean, canola, oil seed rape, cotton, sesame, flax, peanut, sunflower, safflower, olive, and oil palm.
- 9. The plant or seed of claim 7, wherein the plant or seed is processed.
- 10. The plant or seed of claim 9, wherein the plant or seed is used to produce a product selected from the group consisting of feed, meal, oil, and protein.
- 11. A plant or seed comprising the DNA construct of claim 6.
- 12. The plant or seed of claim 11, wherein the plant or seed is selected from the group consisting of maize, soybean, canola, oil seed rape, cotton, sesame, flax, peanut, sunflower, safflower, olive, and oil palm.
- 13. The plant or seed of claim 11, wherein the plant or seed is processed.
- 14. The plant or seed of claim 13, wherein the plant or seed is used to produce a product selected from the group consisting of feed, meal, oil, and protein.
- 15. A method of producing a plant having comprising the steps of: (A) transforming a plant cell with a DNA construct of claim 5 or claim 6; and, (B) regenerating said plant cell into a fertile plant, wherein the fertile plant has enhanced oil relative to seed from a plant having a similar genetic background but lacking the DNA construct.
- 16. The method of claim 15, wherein said plant provides seed having an increased oil yield relative to seed from a plant having a similar genetic background but lacking the DNA construct.
- 17. An isolated polynucleotide that encodes a polypeptide having at least one amino acid motif selected from the group consisting of: AYVFGYEPHSVXPI (SEQ ID: 33) and FXXPXYR (SEQ ID NO: 34).
- 18. The isolated polynucleotide of claim 17, wherein the polypeptide has diacylglycerol acyltransferase activity.
