Nucleic acid sequences and methods of use for the production of plants with modified polyunsaturated fatty acids
First Claim
1. A transformed soybean plant having a nucleic acid molecule that comprises(a) a first promoter operably linked to a first nucleic acid molecule having a first nucleic acid sequence that has 90% or greater identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 1, its complement and fragments of either, wherein said first nucleic acid molecule is capable of suppressing endogenous expression of Fad2-1, and(b) a second nucleic acid molecule with a second nucleic acid sequence that has 90% or greater identity to SEQ ID NO;
14, its complement and fragments of either, wherein the second nucleic acid molecule is operable linked to the first promoter or a second promoter, wherein said first nucleic acid molecule is capable of suppressing endogenous expression of Fad3-1.

Abstract
The present invention is directed to nucleic acid molecules and nucleic acid constructs, and other agents associated with fatty acid synthesis, particularly the ratios of saturated and unsaturated fats. Moreover, the present invention is directed to plants incorporating such agents where the plants exhibit altered ratios of saturated and unsaturated fats. In particular, the present invention is directed to plants incorporating such agents where the plants exhibit altered ratios of monounsaturated to polyunsaturated fatty acids.
