  • Production of hydroxylated fatty acids in genetically modified plants
    Patent number: 8003855
    Abstract: This invention relates to plant fatty acyl hydroxylases. Methods to use conserved amino acid or nucleotide sequences to obtain plant fatty acyl hydroxylases are described. Also described is the use of cDNA clones encoding a plant hydroxylase to produce a family of hydroxylated fatty acids in transgenic plants. In addition, the use of genes encoding fatty acid hydroxylases or desaturases to alter the level of lipid fatty acid unsaturation in transgenic plants is described.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 27, 2007
    Date of Patent: August 23, 2011

  • Strong early seed-specific gene regulatory region
    Patent number: 6437220
    Abstract: Nucleic acid sequences and methods for their use are described which provide for early seed-specific transcription, in order to modulate or modify expression of foreign or endogenous genes in seeds, particularly embryo cells. The method finds particular use in conjunction with modifying fatty acid production in seed tissue.
