  • plants with modified seed oil composition
    Patent number: 10119147
    Abstract: The present invention relates to Brassica plants comprising mutant phosphatidylcholine:diacylglycerol cholinephosphotransferase encoding (ROD1) genes, ROD1 nucleic acid sequences and proteins, as well as methods for generating and identifying said plants and alleles, which can be used to plants with increased levels of C18:1 in the seeds.
    Type: Grant

  • FATTY ACID DESATURASE GENES FROM PLANTS
    Publication number: 20090205066
    Abstract: The preparation and use of nucleic acid fragments encoding fatty acid desaturase enzymes are described. The invention permits alteration of plant lipid composition. Chimeric genes incorporating such nucleic acid fragments with suitable regulatory sequences may be used to create transgenic plants with altered levels of unsaturated fatty acids.
    Type: Application
    Filed: April 8, 2009
    Publication date: August 13, 2009
    Applicant: E. I. DU PONT DE NEMOURS AND COMPANY
    Inventors: John Browse, Luis Perez Grau, Anthony J. Kinney, John W. Pierce, JR., Anna M. Wierzbicki, Narendra S. Yadav
  • Desaturases and methods of using them for synthesis of polyunsaturated fatty acids
    Publication number: 20060090221
    Abstract: The amino acid and nucleic acid sequences of a ?5-desaturase enzyme and a ?8-desaturase enzyme are disclosed. The nucleic acid sequences can be used to design recombinant DNA constructs and vectors. These vectors can then be used to transform various organisms, including for example, plants and yeast. The transformed organisms will then produce polyunsaturated fatty acids. The amino acid sequences are useful for generating enzyme-specific antibodies that are useful for identifying the desaturases.
