Molecular characterization of two type I acyl-CoA: diacylglycerol acyltransferase genes in maize

Type I acyl-CoA: diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT1) is a rate-limiting enzyme that catalyses the final step of the Kennedy pathway in triacylglycerol biosynthesis. In this study, two genes encoding type I diacylglycerol acyltransferase, ZmDGAT1a and ZmDGAT1b, were cloned from a high-oil maize in...
