Figure 1From: Rapid expression of transgenes driven by seed-specific constructs in leaf tissue: DHA productionDHA synthesis pathway. The omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid synthesis pathway described in this study. 'Des' refers to desaturase and 'elo' refers to elongase. The fatty acids are ALA, α-linolenic acid; SDA, stearidonic acid; ETA, eicosatetraenoic acid; EPA, eicosapentaenoic acid; DPA, docosapentaenoic acid; DHA, docosahexaenoic acid.Back to article page
