Appl. No.:

15/398481

Inventors:

- Indianapolis IN, US
Ann Owens MERLO - Carmel IN, US

Beth Rubin WILSON - Indianapolis IN, US
Mary WELTER - Indianapolis IN, US

International Classification:

A23D 9/04
C12N 15/82

Abstract:

Compositions and methods include genetically encoding and expressing a novel delta-9 desaturase in plant cells. In some embodiments, methods of expressing nucleic acids in a plant cell to take advantage of the delta-9 desaturase enzyme's activity, such that the percent composition of saturated fatty acids in plant seeds is decreased and there is a concomitant increase in Δ9 fatty acids. In other embodiments, amino acid sequences have delta-9 desaturase activity. Methods can involve expression of delta-9 desaturase in plant cells, plant materials, and whole plants for the purpose of increasing the amount of mono unsaturated fatty acids in whole plants, plant seeds, and plant materials, for example, seeds.

US Classification:

705 1454

Abstract:

A method is provided in one example embodiment and includes identifying a user in a computer-implemented matching system as having paid a fee for additional promotion of the identified user during a promotional period; and, during the promotional period, providing an increased number of impressions for the identified user to achieve a promotional target with respect to the user, in which the impressions comprise presenting the identified user to other users in the computer-implemented matching system. The method further includes providing evidence to the identified user of each of the impressions during the promotional period; and providing at least one premium service to the identified user to enable the identified user to optimize use of the computer-implemented matching system.
