We claim: 1. A method of decreasing saturated fatty acid in plant seed oil, comprising: a) providing a plant or plant part comprising a heterologous nucleic acid sequence comprising a first nucleic acid sequence operably linked to a seed specific promoter, wherein the first nucleic acid sequence encodes SEQ ID NO: 6 or a protein that is at least 90% identical thereto and which has delta-7 and delta-9 desaturase activity and includes a transit peptide, and b) growing the plant or plant part under conditions such that the nucleic acid sequence is expressed such that at least a portion of the saturated fatty acid content in an oil of said plant or plant part becomes desaturated. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said nucleic acid sequence is SEQ ID NO: 5. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein said saturated fatty acid is palmitic acid or stearic acid. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein said saturated fatty acid is both palmitic acid and stearic acid. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the concentration of palmitoleic acid and/or vaccenic acid is increased in said plant or plant part. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein said seed specific promoter is selected from the group consisting of a phaseolin promoter, a napin promoter, an oleosin promoter, and a soybean beta conglycin promoter. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein said plant or plant part is selected from the group consisting of a plant cell, a plant tissue, a plant organ, a plant seed and a whole plant. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein said plant is an oil-producing species. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the oil-producing species is selected from the group consisting of soybean, rapeseed and canola, sunflower, cotton, corn, cocoa, safflower, oil palm, coconut palm, flax, castor, and peanut. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein said saturated fatty acid is a 16:0 fatty acid. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein said saturated fatty acid becomes desaturated at position 7. 12. The method of claim 2, wherein said saturated fatty acid becomes desaturated at position 9.
