ABSTRACT:
Antisense expression of a stearoyl-ACP desaturase gene in sunflower results in more than a four-fold increase in seed stearate, and can enhance palmitate content as well. Thus, sunflower oil containing over 40 percent saturated fatty acids can be produced, which is desirable in the context of various products, such as coating fat, margarine, soap and shortening.
