GENE FOR FATTY ACID DESATURASE, VECTOR CONTAINING SAID GENE, PLANT CONTAINING SAID GENE TRANSFERRED THEREINTO, AND PROCESS FOR CREATING SAID PLANT

摘要

A gene coding for a protein having the activity of desaturating the DELTA 9-position of a fatty acid bound to a lipid; a vector containing a polynucleotide containing the whole or part of said gene; a plant cell containing, transferred thereinto, a polynucleotide containing the whole or part of a gene coding for a protein having the activity of desaturating the DELTA 9-position of a fatty acid bound to a lipid; a process for creating a plant which comprises differentiating said plant cells and regenerating the plant body; and a plant containing, transferred thereinto, a polynucleotide containing the whole or part of a gene coding for protein having the activity of desaturating the DELTA 9-position of a fatty acid bound to a lipid.
