Abstract
Abstract DNA sequences are provided coding for acyl carrier protein, which sequence can be used for production of acyl carrier protein as an end product or in plant seed to enhance seed oil production. A regulated promoter is provided which substantially limits expression of the acyl carrier protein to seed tissue.
