Abstract:
1. A method for regulation of fatty acid unsaturation in seed oil, comprising: obtaining an oilseed-bearing plant other than downregulating, using at least one of mutagenesis and recombinant DNA methods, the expression or activity of at least one phosphatidylcholine:diacylglycerol cholinephosphotransferase (PDCT) in one or more seeds or developing seeds of the plant, wherein the level, amount, or distribution of fatty acid unsaturation in the seed oil is reduced relative to the seed oil of plants with normal seed expression of the PDCT, wherein the fatty acid unsaturation in seed oil relative to fatty acid unsaturation in one or more membrane lipids is differentially reduced in seed oil, wherein the at least one of mutagenesis and recombinant DNA method directly downregulates the expression or activity of the at least one PDCT.
