Patent ID: 7605301

Claim:
A Brassica juncea plant having a tetraploid genome selected to have only two expressible FAD2 coding sequences, wherein the plant is capable of producing an oilseed bearing an endogenous oil having an oleic acid content of at least 55% by weight, an erucic acid content of less than 1% by weight, wherein the plant is the progeny of Brassica juncea parent line J96D-0899, deposited as ATCC Accession No. PTA-7954, and wherein the expressible FAD2 coding sequences are homologous to the BjFAD2-a coding sequence and have an open reading frame with at least 95% identity to SEQ ID NO: 3 and wherein the BjFAD2-b loci coding sequence with SEQ ID NO:5 has been deleted.
