Abstract
The objectives of this research are to evaluate the regulation and importance of phosphatidylcholine (PtC) biosynthesis in plants, its role in membrane integrity and membrane bound enzyme function. The effects of depleted levels of PtC on plant physiology. This will be accomplished by cloning the genes for the three enzymes of PtC biosynthesis. Down regulation of PtC biosynthesis by antisense technology. Metabolic flux analysis.
