Abstract

Disclosed is an isolated DNA sequence that encodes a Zea mays C-24 sterol methyltransferase. A yeast erg6 transformant containing the C-24 sterol methyltransferase gene produces ergosterol, whereas untransformed isolates of yeast erg6 do not produce ergosterol. Also disclosed is a method of altering sterol metabolism in a plant by transforming the plant with a heterologous construct comprising a Z. mays C-24 methyltransferase coding sequence operably connected to a plant promoter. Plants having altered sterol metabolism are expected to exhibit unique phenotypes, including reduced ability to support feeding pests that depend on plant sterols for completion of their life cycles.
