GENE FOR FATTY ACID DESATURASE, VECTOR CONTAINING SAID GENE, PLANT TRANSFORMED WITH SAID GENE, AND PROCESS FOR CREATING SAID PLANT

摘要

Genes encoding proteins having an activity of desaturating lipidbound fatty acids at the .DELTA.9 position; vectors which contain the genes or polynucleotides containing part of thereof; plant cells transformed with the genes or polynucleotides containing part of thereof; a method for creating plants by regenerating the plant cells to reproduce mature plants; and plants transformed with the genes or polynucleotides containing part of thereof.
