Title: Use of plant fatty acyl hydroxylases to produce hydroxylated fatty acids and derivatives in plants

Abstract

The present invention relates to the identification of nucleic acid sequences and constructs, and methods related thereto, and the use of these sequences and constructs to produce genetically modified plants for the purpose of altering the composition of plant oils, waxes and related compounds.
