T-DNA for expression of a target gene in a plant, wherein the T-DNA comprises a left and a right border element and at least one expression cassette comprising a promoter, operatively linked thereto a target gene, and downstream thereof a terminator, wherein the length of the T-DNA, measured from left to right border element and comprising the target gene, has a length of at least 30000 bp.

Materials and methods for PUFA production, and PUFA-containing compositions

The present invention provides transgenicevents LBFLFK and LBFDAU and progeny thereof, and cells, seeds, plants comprising DNA diagnostic for these events. The invention also provides artificial oligonucleotide primers and probes that are diagnostic for the LBFLFK and LBFDAU events and their progeny in a sample, and methods for detecting the presence of the LBFLFK and LBFDAU events and their progeny in a sample. The invention further provides oil and commodity products derived from the LBFLFK and LBFDAU events.

events LBFLFK and LBFDAU and methods for detection thereof

The present invention relates to transgenic nucleic acids, expression cassettes, vectors, plant cells, plant organs and plants. The invention also relates to methods for increasing expression or activity of a target gene, particularly in a plant cell or plant organ, and also to uses of recombinant nucleic acids and expression cassettes to increase expression or activity of a target gene or for manufacturing of a vector, plant cell, plant organ or plant. Incidentally, the invention relates to enhancers for achieving increased expression or activity of a target gene, particularly in a plant cell or plant organ, when operably linked to a promoter functional in such plant cell, plant organ or plant. The invention is described herein with reference to the technical field of production of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), without being limited to this technical field. For the production of desired molecules in plant cells, e.g. PUFAs, it is frequently required to express a target gene heterologous to the plant cell, or to overexpress a target gene naturally found in said plant cell.

Gene expression or activity enhancing elements

Isolated nucleic acids and proteins associated with lipid and sugar metabolism regulation are provided. In particular, lipid metabolism proteins (LMP) and encoding nucleic acids originating from, andare provided. The nucleic acids and proteins are used in methods of producing trangenic plants and modulating levels of seed storage compounds. Preferably, the seed storage compounds are lipids, fatty acids, starches, or seed storage proteins.
