  • GENES FOR MICROSOMAL DELTA-12 FATTY ACID DESATURASES AND RELATED ENZYMES FROM PLANTS
    Publication number: 20080092251
    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: December 10, 2007
    Publication date: April 17, 2008
    Inventors: Jonathan Lightner, John Okuley
