Abstract
A method of altering fatty acid and/or triacylglycerol production in plants and/or algae is provided. The method includes altering activity levels of alpha-carboxyltransferase (α-CT), a catalytic subunit of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) by modulating an expression of at least one carboxyltransferase interaction (CTI) gene encoding at least one CTI protein.
