This invention relates generally to nucleic acid sequences encoding proteins that are related to the presence of seed storage compounds in plants. More specifically, the present invention relates to FAD2-like nucleic acid sequences encoding lipid metabolism regulator proteins and the use of these sequences in transgenic plants. In particular, the invention is directed to methods for manipulating lipid metabolism related compounds and for increasing oil level and altering the fatty acid composition in plants and seeds. The invention further relates to methods of using these novel plant polypeptides to stimulate plant growth and/or to increase yield and/or composition of seed storage compounds.
L'invention concerne en général des séquences d'acide nucléique codant pour des protéines liées à la présence de composés de stockage de semence dans les plantes. De manière plus spécifique, l'invention concerne des séquences d'acide nucléique du type FAD2 codant pour des protéines régulatrices du métabolisme lipidique et leur utilisation dans des plantes transgéniques. L'invention concerne en particulier des procédés permettant manipuler des composés associés au métabolisme lipidique, d'augmenter le niveau d'huile et de modifier la composition des acides gras chez les plantes et les semences. L'invention concerne enfin des procédés permettant d'utiliser ces nouveaux polypeptides végétaux afin de stimuler la croissance végétale et/ou d'augmenter le rendement et/ou la composition des composés de stockage de semence.
