Abstract:
1. An expression cassette comprising a nucleic acid molecule operatively linked to at least one expression control sequence, wherein said nucleic acid molecule is heterologous in relation to said at least one expression control sequence and is selected from the group consisting of: a) a nucleic acid molecule comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3, 5, 33, 35 or 37; b) a nucleic acid molecule encoding a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 4, 6, 34, 36 or 38; c) a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence having at least 95% sequence identity to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3, 5, 33, 35 or 37, wherein said nucleic acid molecule encodes a polypeptide having desaturase activity; and d) a nucleic acid molecule encoding a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 90% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 4, 6, 34, 36 or 38, wherein said polypeptide has desaturase activity.
