Abstract

Plant oils are the major sources for human nutrition. There is increasing interest in the use of plant oils as renewable sources of industrial feedstocks. In order to alleviate the increasing demand for plant oils, omics approaches have been adopted to facilitate modification of the fatty acid composition in order to improve the nutritional properties and to generate specific physiochemical properties for industrial uses. An overview of the application of omics to aid progress in the engineering of oil quality and seed yield is presented in this chapter.
