Patent ID: 8273957

Claim:
Transgenic seeds obtained from an oilseed plant, plant cell, plant tissue or plant part, comprising in its genome a recombinant construct comprising an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a fungal Δ15 desaturase enzyme, selected from the group consisting of: a) an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding the amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:2; b) an isolated nucleic acid fragment that hybridizes over the full length of the isolated nucleic acid fragment of (a) under the following hybridization conditions: 0.1×SSC, 0.1% SDS, 65 C and washed with 2×SSC, 0.1% SDA followed by 0.1×SSC, 0.1% SDA; and an isolated nucleic acid fragment that is complementary over the full length of (a) or (b), wherein said seeds comprise the nucleic acid fragment of a) or b).
