Antisense expression of a stearoyl-ACP desaturase gene in sunflower results in more than a four-fold increase in seed stearate, and can enhance palmitate content as well. Thus, sunflower oil containing over 40 percent saturated fatty acids can be produced, which is desirable in the context of various products, such as coating fat, margarine, soap and shortening.

La présente invention concerne l'expression anti-sens d'un gène de stéaril-ACP (protéine transporteuse d'acyle) désaturase de stéaril-ACP (protéine transporteuse d'acyle) désaturase du tournesol et qui produit une augmentation d'un facteur supérieur à quatre dans le stéarate de la graine et qui peut également en renforcer le contenu en palmitate. Par conséquent, on peut produire de l'huile de tournesol contenant plus de 40 pour cent d'acides gras saturés, ce qui peut avantageusement favoriser la fabrication de divers produits comprenant les graisses de protection, les margarines, les savons et les matières grasses pour pâtes.
