The invention provides a method for increasing the triacylglyceride content of an organism, and/or for modifying the fatty acid composition of the triacyllyceride, by expressing in the organism a DNA encoding a protein having glycerol 3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT) activity. Preferred examples of the method of the invention are illustrated with Arabidopsis thaliana and yeast, using constructs prepared from the plastidial GPAT genes from Safflower and E.Coli.
L'invention concerne un procédé permettant d'augmenter la concentration de triacylglycéride dans un organisme, et/ou de modifier la composition des acides gras de la triacylglycéride par expression, dans un organisme, d'un ADN codant pour une protéine présentant une activité de glycérol-3-phosphate acyltransférase (GPAT). Des exemples préférés de l'invention sont illustrés au moyen de l'Arabidopsis thaliana et de levures, à l'aide de constructions préparées à partir de gènes GPAT plastidiaux issus du carthame et du E.Coli.
