Towards the production of pharmaceutical fatty acids in transgenic plants

2001-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Recent advances in plant molecular biology have facilitated the introduction of novel traits into a range of plant species. It is now possible to modify the fatty acid composition of plant oilseeds, which opens up the possibility of improving the nutritional qualities of plant oils. The fatty acid composition of an oilseed determines its end use and therefore its commercial value. Value can be added to certain cro...
