Abstract: T-DNA for expression of a target gene in a plant, wherein the T-DNA comprises a left and a right border element and at least one expression cassette comprising a promoter, operatively linked thereto a target gene, and downstream thereof a terminator, wherein the length of the T-DNA, measured from left to right border element and comprising the target gene, has a length of at least 30000 bp.

Abstract: A composition comprises a fat phase wherein the fat phase comprises: more than 10 wt. % DHA and/or EPA or derivatives thereof; or more than 5 wt. % GLA or a derivative thereof; or more than 10 wt. % of GLA, EPA and/or DHA in total or derivatives thereof; and secoisolariciresinol (SECO) or a derivative thereof, with the proviso that when the composition comprises GLA, the composition is substantially free of isoflavones. The composition and mixtures or blends comprising the composition may be used for the treatment of PMS and prostate conditions.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to promoters of flax conlinin and ?-3 desaturase genes. The promoters guide high levels of the expression exclusively in flax developing seeds. This specific expression pattern concomitant with the biosynthesis of storage lipids and proteins make these promoters particularly useful for seed-specific modification of fatty acid and protein compositions in plant seeds.
