The purpose of the present invention is to provide an oil/lipid that contains dihomo-γ-linolenic acid at a higher purity. Provided is a microbial oil/lipid that is specified by a high content of dihomo-γ-linolenic acid contained therein and/or a reduced content of undesirable constituting fatty acid(s).

The present invention is concerned with materials and methods for the production of genetically modified plants, particularly where the plants are for the production of at least one unsaturated or polyunsaturated fatty acid. The invention is also concerned with identification of genes conveying an unsaturated fatty acid metabolic property to a plant or plant cell, and generally relates to the field of phosphotidylcholine:diacylglycerol cholinephosphotransferase (PDCT).
