Abstract
The present invention is directed to nucleic acid molecules and nucleic acid constructs, and other agents associated with fatty acid synthesis, particularly the ratios of saturated and unsaturated fats. Moreover, the present invention is directed to plants incorporating such agents where the plants exhibit altered ratios of saturated and unsaturated fats. In particular, the present invention is directed to plants incorporating such agents where the plants exhibit altered ratios of monounsaturated to polyunsaturated fatty acids.

1-60. (canceled)
A transformed soybean plant, wherein the level of a transcript encoded by a gene selected from the group consisting of FAD2-1A, FAD2-1B, FAD2-2B, FAD3-1A, FAD3-1B, and FAD3-1C is selectively reduced while leaving the level of a transcript encoded by a different gene selected from the group consisting of FAD2-1A, FAD2-1B, FAD2-2B, FAD3-1A, FAD3-1B, and FAD3-1C at least partially unaffected.
The transformed soybean plant of claim 62, wherein said level of a transcript encoded by a different gene is substantially unaffected.
A transformed soybean plant, wherein the level of a transcript encoded by a gene selected from the group consisting of FAD2-1A and FAD2-1B is selectively reduced while leaving the level of a transcript encoded by a different gene selected from the group consisting of FAD2-2B, FAD3-1A, FAD3-1B, FAD3-1C, and combinations thereof at least partially unaffected.
