Overexpression of Type 1 and 2 Diacylglycerol Acyltransferase Genes (<i>JcDGAT1</i> and <i>JcDGAT2</i>) Enhances Oil Production in the Woody Perennial Biofuel Plant <i>Jatropha curcas</i>

Diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) is the only enzyme that catalyzes the acyl-CoA-dependent acylation of sn-1, 2-diacylglycerol (DAG) to form triacylglycerol (TAG). The two main types of DGAT enzymes in the woody perennial biofuel plant <i>Jatropha curcas</i>, JcDGAT1 and JcDGAT2, wer...
