Progresses on Biosynthesis of Long Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Plant |
|
|
Abstract There is immense interest in the long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) on account of their health-beneficial properties. There has been considerable interest in the production of LC-PUFAs in transgenic plants to provide a cheap, sustainable and clean source of these fatty acids. In this paper, several main LC-PUFAs, their roles and metabolic pathway in plant are introduced simply, progresses on biosynthesis of LC-PUFAs in transgenic plant are not only reviewed, strategies for improving the yields of LC-PUFAs in plant are also discussed.
