The production of very-long-chain PUFA biosynthesis in transgenic plants towards a sustainable source of fish oils. Considerable evidence exists about the importance of n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in human health. Marine fish stocks that serve as the primary sources of these fatty acids are threatened by continued over-exploitation; therefore, the authors believe there is an urgent need to provide a sustainable alternative source of the n-3 long-chain PUFA found in these marine fish oils. Recently, it has been shown that these important fatty acids can be synthesized using transgenic, genetically engineered plants. The authors discuss the various approaches taken to realize this outcome, as well as the prospects of using these plants to provide a sustainable resource of these fatty acids in the future.
