Popis: The 3-ketoacyl-ACP synthase III (KAS III) catalyzes the condensation reaction of acetyl-CoA with malonyl-ACP during the initial cycles of fatty acid synthesis. Although KAS III has been implicated as a site of regulation for de novo fatty acid synthesis in E. coli [1, 2], its regulatory role in plants has not been clearly delineated. Alteration of KAS III expression in plants will help elucidate its function in vivo.
