Compositions and methods include genetically encoding and expressing a novel &#x394;-18:0-ACP desaturase in plant cells. In some embodiments, nucleic acid molecules encode the novel &#x394;-18:0-ACP desaturase. In other embodiments, amino acid sequences have &#x394;-18:0-ACP desaturase activity. Methods can involve expression of &#x394;-18:0-ACP desaturase in plant cells, plant materials, and whole plants for the purpose of increasing the amount of unusual fatty acids in whole plants, plant seeds, and plant materials, for example, seeds.

Accumulation of omega-7 fatty acids in plant seeds

A nucleotide construct comprising a nucleotide sequence that forms a stem and a loop, wherein the loop comprises a nucleotide sequence that modulates expression of a target, wherein the stem comprises a nucleotide sequence that modulates expression of a target, and wherein the target modulated by the nucleotide sequence in the loop and the target modulated by the nucleotide sequence in the stem may be the same or different. Vectors, methods of regulating target expression, methods of providing a cell, and methods of treating conditions comprising the nucleotide sequence are also disclosed.
