GENES FOR PLANT FATTY ACID MODIFIYNG ENZYMES ASSOCIATED WITH CONJUGATED DOUBLE BOND FORMATION

摘要

The preparation and use of nucleic acid fragments encoding plant fatty acid modifying enzymes associated with conjugated double bond formation or functionally equivalent subfragments thereof are disclosed. Chimeric genes incorporating such nucleic acid fragments or functionally equivalent subfragments thereof or complement thereof and suitable regulatory sequences can be used to create transgenic plants having altered lipid profiles.
