Patent ID: 7365240

Claim:
A transgenic plant containing at least one DNA construct, said construct comprising: a) a nucleic acid encoding a polypeptide effective for catalysing the conversion of a substrate to a C16, C18, or C20 monounsaturated fatty acid products wherein said polypeptide has at least 95% sequence identity to the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:41, wherein said fatty acid product has the following structure: wherein X is hydrogen, CoA, glycerol, a monoglyceride, a diglyceride, ACP, methyl, Na+, phosphatidyicholine, or phosphatidylethanolamine, and wherein R 3 is C2, C4, or C6 alkyl; and (b) a regulatory element operably linked to said nucleic acid encoding said polypeptide, wherein said regulatory element confers expression in a vegetative tissue of said plant; wherein the transgenic plant has anthelmintic activity.
