Abstract
The present invention provides polynucleotide sequences from FAE1 genes. FAE1 genes encode elongation enzymes which catalyze the conversion of C18 FAs to C20-C22 FAs. The polynucleotides of the invention are used to modify FAE1 gene expression and thereby modulate FA content in plant organs or parts, particularly seeds.
