Abstract:
1. A transgenic oilseed plant comprising: (a) a first recombinant construct comprising at least one regulatory sequence operably linked to a polynucleotide encoding at least one delta-8 desaturase polypeptide; (b) a second recombinant construct comprising at least one regulatory sequence operably linked to a polynucleotide encoding at least one delta-9 elongase polypeptide; (c) a third recombinant construct comprising at least one regulatory sequence operably linked to a polynucleotide encoding at least one delta-5 desaturase polypeptide; and (d) decreased delta-15 desaturase activity relative to a wild-type or non-transformed plant; wherein the transqenic oilseed plant produces mature seeds in which the total seed fatty acid profile comprises at least 10.0% arachidonic acid and less than 5% gamma-linolenic acid.
