The present invention relates to a method for modifying one or more types of triglycerides in a fat, comprising subjecting a single fat selected from the group consisting of high stearic high oleic sunflower oil, high stearic high oleic soybean oil, high stearic high oleic rapeseed oil, high stearic high oleic cottonseed oil, palm olein and shea olein to an intraesterification process in which the fatty acids of the triglycerides of said oil or fat are randomly redistributed between the triglycerides to obtain an oil or fat with a modified solid fat content (SFC) profile. Further, the present invention relates to the obtained fats and use thereof.

Random intraesterification

Isolated nucleotide sequences mutated by insertion encoding a truncated sunflower oleate desaturase protein, truncated protein, methods, procedures and uses. The isolated nucleotide sequences comprise an insertion that includes a stop codon, and wherein the sequences encode a truncated sunflower oleate desaturase protein. The truncated sunflower oleate desaturase protein may be for example the sequence shown in SEQ ID No: 1 or SEQ ID No: 2.

The present invention relates to a method for increasing the SUS content in an oil or in an olein fraction, comprising performing 1,3-selective enzymatic intraesterification on a natural starting oil or olein fraction prepared therefrom wherein the ratio between SUS and SUU is at least 1:1.5 and the SSS content is low, in particular close to 0%. Further, the present invention relates to 1,3-Selective intraesterified oil or olein, obtainable by performing the present method.

1,3-specific intraesterification

Novel herbicide-resistant sunflower plants designated as MUT31 and herbicide-resistant descendents thereof are provided. The MUT31 sunflower plants and the herbicide-resistant descendents thereof comprise increased resistance to at least one imidazolinone herbicide, when compared to wild-type sunflower plants. Methods for controlling weeds in the vicinity of these herbicide-resistant sunflower plants and methods for increasing the herbicide-resistance of a sunflower plant are also provided.

Herbicide-resistant sunflower plants and methods of use

Herbicide-resistant sunflower plants, isolated polynucleotides that encode herbicide resistant and wild type acetohydroxyacid synthase large subunit (AHASL) polypeptides, and the amino acid sequences of these polypeptides, are described. Expression cassettes and transformation vectors comprising the polynucleotides of the invention, as well as plants and host cells transformed with the polynucleotides, are described. Methods of using the polynucleotides to enhance the resistance of plants to herbicides, and methods for controlling weeds in the vicinity of herbicide-resistant plants are also described.
