Abstract excerpt
The fab1 mutant of Arabidopsis is partially deficient in activity of beta-ketoacyl-[acyl carrier protein] synthase II (KAS II). This defect results in increased levels of 16:0 fatty acid and is associated with damage and death of the mutants at low temperature. Transformation of fab1 plants with a cDNA from Brassica napus encoding a KAS II enzyme resulted in complementation of both mutant phenotypes. The dual...
