Bioengineering of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in oilseed crops This review discusses PUFA biosynthesis, current efforts on LC-PUFA bioengineering in oilseed crops, comparing the advantages of different genetic engineering strategies and highlights the bottlenecks encountered in this field
Biosynthesis of Very-Long-Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in . . . Here, we report experiments on the production of C20-PUFA in seeds of transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) and linseed expressing appropriate heterologous enzymes under the control of seed-specific promoters and our effort to understand the channeling of acyl groups to TAG synthesis Figure 1
