摘要:
The subject invention provides “no sat” canola oil. The subject invention also provides seeds that can be used to produce such oils. Plants that produce these seeds are also included within the subject invention. All of this was surprisingly achieved by using a delta-9 desaturase gene in canola. This technology can be applied to other plants as disclosed herein. Oils of the subject invention have particularly advantageous characteristics and fatty acid profiles, which were not heretofore attained. The subject invention still further provides a plant-optimized delta-9 desaturase gene. The subject invention still further provides a plant-optimized delta-9 desaturase gene. In some preferred embodiments, a preferred plant comprises at least two copies of a delta-9 desaturase gene of the subject invention. Seeds produced by such plants surprisingly do not exhibit effects of gene silencing but rather have further surprising reductions in levels of total saturates.
摘要:
This invention relates to newly identified polynucleotides and polypeptides in the phytic acid biosynthetic pathways, variants and derivatives of the same; methods for making the polynucleotides, polypeptides, variants, derivatives and antagonists. In particular, the invention relates to polynucleotides encoding inositol polyphosphate 2-kinase (IPP2-K) and polypeptides exhibiting such activity to modulate the phytic acid biosynthesis in such a way as to decrease phytic acid and/or increase the non-phytic acid phosphorous, especially in corn or soy animal feedstuffs.
