Disclosed are plants that have been genetically modified to express a
PKS-like system for the production of PUFAs (a PUFA PKS system), wherein
oils produced by the plant contain at least one PUFA produced by the PUFA
PKS system and are free of the mixed shorter-chain and less unsaturated
PUFAs that are fatty acid products produced by the modification of
products of the FAS system in standard fatty acid pathways. Also
disclosed are the oil seeds, oils, and products comprising such oils
produced by this system, as well as methods for producing such plants.
