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.

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 10, 1997. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended February 10, 2017.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 10, 2019.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
