| 20080260929 | Expression of Fatty Acid Desaturases in Corn - The invention relates generally to the expression of desaturase enzymes in transgenic corn plants and compositions derived therefrom. In particular, the invention relates to the production of oils with improved omega-3 fatty acid profiles in corn plants and the seed oils produced thereby. Such oils may contain stearidonic acid, which is not naturally found in corn plants and has been shown to have beneficial effects on health. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20090176879 | Fatty acid desaturases from primula - The invention relates generally to methods and compositions concerning desaturase enzymes that modulate the number and location of double bonds in long chain poly-unsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA's). In particular, the invention relates to methods and compositions for improving omega-3 fatty acid profiles in plant products and parts using desaturase enzymes and nucleic acids encoding for such enzymes. In particular embodiments, the desaturase enzymes are | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090325264 | Engineered Delta-15-Fatty Acid Desaturases - The present invention provides engineered fatty acid desaturase molecules preferring Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) over Linoleic Acid (LA) as a substrate. The invention further discloses compositions, polynucleotide constructs, transformed host cells, transgenic plants and seeds comprising the desaturase molecule, and methods for preparing and using the same.

| 20100092640 | UTILIZATION OF FATTY ACID DESATURASES FROM Hemiselmis spp. - The invention relates to methods and compositions concerning desaturase enzymes that modulate the number and location of double bonds in long chain poly-unsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA's). In particular, the invention relates to methods and compositions for improving omega-3 fatty acid profiles in plant products and parts using exogenous desaturase enzymes and nucleic acids encoding for such enzymes. In particular embodiments, the exogenous desaturase enzymes utilized are | 04-15-2010 |
| 20100212045 | FATTY ACID DESATURASES FROM FUNGI - The invention relates generally to methods and compositions concerning fungal desaturase enzymes that modulate the number and location of double bonds in long chain poly-unsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA's). In Particular, the invention relates to methods and compositions for improving omega-3 fatty acid profiles in plant products and parts using desaturase enzymes and nucleic acids encoding for such enzymes. In particular embodiments, the desaturase enzymes are fungal −15 desaturases. Also provided are improved canola oil compositions having SDA and maintaining beneficial oleic acid content. | 08-19-2010 |
| 20110067141 | SOYBEAN PLANT AND SEED CORRESPONDING TO TRANSGENIC EVENT MON87769 AND METHODS FOR DETECTION THEREOF - The present invention provides transgenic soybean event MON87769, and cells, seeds, and plants comprising DNA diagnostic for the soybean event. The invention also provides compositions comprising nucleotide sequences that are diagnostic for said soybean event in a sample, methods for detecting the presence of said soybean event nucleotide sequences in a sample, probes and primers for use in detecting nucleotide sequences that are diagnostic for the presence of said soybean event in a sample, growing the seeds of such soybean event into soybean plants, and breeding to produce soybean plants comprising DNA diagnostic for the soybean event. | 03-17-2011 |
