Fatty aldehyde decarbonylase for transforming bacterial cells and plants
- Publication number:
EP0776973
- Description:
The invention relates to a protein having fatty aldehyde decarbonylase activity involved in the biosynthesis of alkanes, to its encoding DNA CER1, and to its promoter. Further disclosed are a method for producing said protein using recombinant transformed bacterial cells and a method of providing transformed plants or parts thereof showing an altered epicuticular wax composition for a better resistance to (a)biotic stress.
