Metabolic Engineering Plant Seeds with Fish Oil-Like Levels of DHA

EPA with seed fatty acid levels similar to that observed in bulk fish oil (∼18%), although undesirable ω6 PUFA levels have also remained high. ALA which was then converted to DHA by a microalgal Δ6-desaturase pathway. crop containing 12% DHA in seed oil would produce as much DHA as approximately 10,000 fish
