Seeds, plants and oils are provided having low FDA saturates; high oleic acid; low linoleic acid; high or low palmitic acid; low stearic acid; and low linoleic acid plus linolenic acid; and advantageous functional or nutritional properties.

Seeds, plants and oils with altered fatty acid profiles

The oil from a canola seed with an altered fatty acid profile is disclosed to have low FDA saturates; high oleic acid; low linoleic acid; low stearic acid; and low linoleic acid plus linolenic acid. The method for extracting the oil from the seeds is also disclosed.

Oil from canola seed with altered fatty acid profiles and a method of

The present method is directed to a method for the in vitro stabilization and manipulation of pollen from flowering plants. Specifically, the in vitro stabilization method comprises stabilizing germinating pollen in an aqueous stabilizing solution. The growth of the pollen tube may be resumed by suspending the stabilized pollen in germination medium. Stabilized pollens may be used as vectors for the transfer of exogenous DNA into plants or in gametophyte selection.

Method for the manipulation of pollen in plants

A novel method for efficiently carrying out pollen-mediated gene transformation of flowering plants is described. Utilizing novel DNA constructs incorporating exogenous DNA fragments coding for specific enzymes, the method can product transformed plants exhibiting novel, useful traits. Confirming hybridization tests have been carried out to identify the exogenous DNA transformed into the plant.
