DGAT GENES FROM YARROWIA LIPOLYTICA COMBINED WITH PLASTIDIC PHOSPHOGLUCOMUTASE DOWN REGULATION FOR INCREASED SEED STORAGE LIPID PRODUCTION AND ALTERED FATTY ACID PROFILES IN OILSEED PLANTS
Transgenic soybean seed having increased total fatty acid content of at least 20% and altered fatty acid profiles when compared to the total fatty acid content of non-transgenic, null segregant soybean seed are described. DGAT genes from Yarrowia lipolytica combined with plastidic phosphoglucomutase down regulation are used to achieve the increase in seed storage lipids.
