 Seeds of members of the genus <

 Cuphea<
 /i>
  accumulate medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs
  8:0?14:0). MCFA- and palmitic acid- (16:0) rich vegetable oils have received attention for jet fuel production, given their similarity in chain length to Jet A fuel hydrocarbons. Studies were conducted to test genes, including those from <
 i>
 Cuphea<
 /i>
 , for their ability to confer jet fuel-type fatty acid accumulation in seed oil of the emerging biofuel crop <
 i>
 Camelina sativa<

 . Transcriptomes from <

 Cuphea viscosissima<
 /i>
  and <

 Cuphea pulcherrima<

  developing seeds that accumulate >
 90% of C8 and C10 fatty acids revealed three <

 FatB<

  cDNAs (<

 , <

 CvFatB1<
 /i>
 , and <
 i>
 CpuFatB4<
 /i>
 ) expressed predominantly in seeds and structurally divergent from typical FatB thioesterases that release 16:0 from acyl carrier protein (ACP). Expression of <
 i>
 CpuFatB3<
 /i>
  and <
 i>
 CvFatB1<
 /i>
  resulted in <
 i>
 Camelina<
 /i>
  oil with capric acid (10:0), and <
 i>
 CpuFatB4<
 /i>
  expression conferred myristic acid (14:0) production and increased 16:0. Co-expression of combinations of previously characterized <
 i>
 Cuphea<
 /i>
  and California bay FatBs produced <
 i>
 Camelina<
 /i>
  oils with mixtures of C8?C16 fatty acids, but amounts of each fatty acid were less than obtained by expression of individual <
 i>
 FatB<
 /i>
  cDNAs. Increases in lauric acid (12:0) and 14:0, but not 10:0, in <
 i>
 Camelina<
 /i>
  oil and at the <
 i>
 sn-2<

  position of triacylglycerols resulted from inclusion of a coconut lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase specialized for MCFAs. RNA interference (RNAi) suppression of <

 Camelina<

  ?-ketoacyl-ACP synthase II, however, reduced 12:0 in seeds expressing a 12:0-ACP-specific FatB. Here, <
 i>
 Camelina<
 /i>
  lines presented here provide platforms for additional metabolic engineering targeting fatty acid synthase and specialized acyltransferases for achieving oils with high levels of jet fuel-type fatty acids.
