Bioengineering of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in oilseed crops
Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs), especially very long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLC-PUFAs), are highly beneficial to human health including brain development, cardiovascular health and the immune system. Plant-derived edible oils serve as crucial dietary sources of PUFAs for humans. However, oilseed crops such as soybean, peanut, rapeseed, sesame and flax, generally contain insufficient content of LC-PUFAs and do not naturally produce VLC-PUFAs. 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. Combination of high-efficient enzymes from various species has enabled the improvement of LC-PUFAs and slight production of VLC-PUFAs, though under risk of generational instability. These and future intelligently designed enzymes with multidisciplinary approaches in molecular biology, biochemistry and plant physiology can be crucial in developing oilseed crops that meet the growing demand for LC-PUFAs.
期刊介绍:
The significance of lipids as a fundamental category of biological compounds has been widely acknowledged. The utilization of our understanding in the fields of biochemistry, chemistry, and physiology of lipids has continued to grow in biotechnology, the fats and oils industry, and medicine. Moreover, new aspects such as lipid biophysics, particularly related to membranes and lipoproteins, as well as basic research and applications of liposomes, have emerged. To keep up with these advancements, there is a need for a journal that can evaluate recent progress in specific areas and provide a historical perspective on current research. Progress in Lipid Research serves this purpose.
