Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved process for the preparation of unsaturated fatty acids and to a process for the preparation of triglycerides with an increased content of unsaturated fatty acids. The invention relates to the generation of transgenic microorganism, with an increased content of fatty acids, oils or lipids with ?6 double bonds owing to the expression of a moss ?6-desaturase. The invention furthermore relates to transgenic organisms comprising a ?6-desaturase gene, and to the use of unsaturated fatty acids ort of the triglycerides with an increased content if unsaturated fatty acids prepared in the process.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved process for the preparation of unsaturated fatty acids and to a process for the preparation of triglycerides with an increased content of unsaturated fatty acids. The invention relates to the generation of transgenic organism, preferably of a transgenic plant or of a transgenic microorganism, with an increased content of fatty acids, oils or lipids with ?6 double bonds owing to the expression of a moss ?-6-desaturase [sic]. The invention furthermore relates to transgenic organisms comprising a ?6-desaturase gene, and to the use of the unsaturated fatty acids or of the triglycerides with an increased content of unsaturated fatty acids prepared in the process.

Abstract: The present invention relates to expression cassettes, to their combination and vectors comprising the expression cassettes comprising plant promoters with an expression specificity for plant seeds, in particular linseed, and to the use of these expression cassettes or vectors for the recombinant expression of heterologous genes in plants. The invention furthermore relates to transgenic plants which have been transformed with these expression cassettes or vectors, to cultures, parts or transgenic propagation material derived therefrom, and to their use as food, feed or seed, pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals or as industrial feedstock.

Abstract: Provided is a method for the generation and selection of transgenic plant cells and tissue as well as plants of the genus Linum, in particular flax. Furthermore, transgenic plant cells, tissue and plants obtained by a method of the invention and their use in plant cell and tissue culture and plant breeding is described.
