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...

Zusammenfassung:	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. L'invention concerne généralement l'expression d'enzymes désaturase dans du maïs transgénique et des compositions dérivées de celles-ci. En particulier, l'invention concerne la production d'huiles présentant des profils d'acide gras oméga 3 améliorés dans du maïs, et des huiles de graines produites à partir de ces huiles. De telles huiles peuvent contenir de l'acide stéaridonique, qui ne se trouve pas naturellement dans le maïs, et qui présente des effets bénéfiques pour la santé.
