| abstract |
The present invention relates to rice oil, rice bran and rice seeds having varying levels of oleic acid, palmitic acid and / or linoleic acid content. Also provided are methods for genetically modifying rice plants such that the rice oil, rice bran and rice seeds produced have altered levels of oleic acid, palmitic acid and / or linoleic acid content. When present in a cell of a rice plant, modulation of intracellular Fad2 and / or FatB expression is achieved through genetic modification as compared to a cell lacking the polynucleotide.
