Abstract
The present invention provides the complete cDNA sequence of maize acetyl CoA carboxylase and a method introducing and expressing a plant acetyl CoA carboxylase gene in plant cells. The method includes the steps of introducing an expression cassette encoding a plant acetyl CoA carboxylase or an antisense DNA sequence complementary to the sequence for a plant acetyl CoA carboxylase gene operably linked to a promoter functional in plant cells, into the cells of a plant tissue and expressing the plant acetyl CoA carboxylase gene. The expression cassette can also be introduced into other host cells to increase yield of a plant acetyl CoA carboxylase crystallized enzyme.
