Abstract
In various embodiments, the invention provides for the use of an ADS1 or ADS2 &Dgr;9 fatty acid desaturase to selectively increase the relative proportion of oleic acid in the fatty acid of a plant part, such as in the oil of a mature seed. In some embodiments, the proportion of oleic acid may be increased preferentially, without a corresponding or proportional increase in palmitoleic acid.
