METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR MODIFYING PHENOTYPES OF PLANTS EXPRESSING FATTY ACID TRANSGENES AND REDUCED EXPRESSION OF BADC GENES
Compositions that are plants, seeds or crops that have a combination of defective BADC genes and genes for making hydroxy fatty acids produced normal levels of oil containing specialty fatty acids, and exhibited an increases in total oil accumulation, increase in absolute hydroxy (specialized) fatty acid accumulation per seed and/or per plant and/or per unit land area. Defective BADC genes and genes for synthesizing hydroxy fatty acids are combined to produce specialized fatty acids without substantially slowing production of endogenous fatty acids. Methods are also described for increasing production of unusual fatty acids and increasing total fatty acid levels in plants by a mechanism involving combining defective BADC genes and genes for making hydroxy fatty acids to produce steady or increased levels of oil containing the increased specialty products as described herein.
SUNFLOWER SEED
The problem solved by the present invention is to provide a high-stearic acid sunflower line. This problem is solved by a sunflower seed comprising a sequence insertion mutation on the 3′ side from the TATA box and on the 5′ side from the start codon of a stearoyl-acyl carrier protein desaturase 17 (SAD17) gene.
Brassica Plants Producing Elevated Levels of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids
Provided herein are Brassica plants that produce one or more of omega-3 docosapentaenoic acid (DHA), docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and methods of making such plants.
Process for producing extracted lipid comprising docosahexaenoic acid
The present invention relates to a process for producing ethyl esters of polyunsaturated fatty acids, comprising transesterifying triacylglycerols in extracted plant lipid.
Canola inbred N00644FC
A novel canola variety designated N00644FC and seed, plants and plant parts thereof. Methods for producing a canola plant that comprise crossing canola variety N00644FC with another canola plant. Methods for producing a canola plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into N00644FC through backcross conversion and/or transformation, and to the canola seed, plant and plant part produced thereby. Hybrid canola seed, plant or plant part produced by crossing the canola variety N00644FC or a locus conversion of N00644FC with another canola variety.
RECOMBINANT ALGAE HAVING HIGH LIPID PRODUCTIVITY
The invention provides recombinant algal organisms that have a genetic modification to a gene or nucleic acid sequence encoding an RNA binding domain. In some embodiments the genetic modification can be a functional deletion or attenuation of the gene. The genetic modification results in a mutant organism with increased lipid productivity and/or higher biomass productivity. The lipid products of these mutants can be utilized as biofuels or to manufacture other specialty products. The recombinant mutants can also, optionally, have a genetic modification to a gene encoding an SGI1 polypeptide. Methods of making and using the recombinant algal mutants and methods of producing lipids are also disclosed.
Modified genes to increase seed protein content
Soybean seeds with increased protein, oil or protein plus oil and having a modified expression of a reticulon-like polypeptide, modified expression of a trehalose-6-phosphate synthase polypeptide, or modified expression of both sequences are provided. Methods for modifying expression of reticulon-like polypeptides and polynucleotides and trehalose-6-phosphate synthase polypeptides and polynucleotides include genome editing to modify the transcription regulatory region or sequence encoding the reticulon-like and trehalose-6-phosphate synthase polypeptides and transformation with recombinant DNA constructs to enhance or suppress expression.
Lipid comprising polyunsaturated fatty acids
The present invention relates to extracted plant lipid, comprising fatty acids in an esterified form.
CANOLA INBRED N00644FC
A novel canola variety designated N00644FC and seed, plants and plant parts thereof. Methods for producing a canola plant that comprise crossing canola variety N00644FC with another canola plant. Methods for producing a canola plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into N00644FC through backcross conversion and/or transformation, and to the canola seed, plant and plant part produced thereby. Hybrid canola seed, plant or plant part produced by crossing the canola variety N00644FC or a locus conversion of N00644FC with another canola variety.
LIPID COMPRISING POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS
The present invention relates to extracted plant lipid, comprising fatty acids in an esterified form.
