The field trials will be conducted to evaluate the amount of omega-3 long chain polysaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) in the camelina seeds. Omega-3 LC-PUFAs exhibit benefits to human health including protection against coronary heart diseases. The research team has also developed camelina plants that accumulate astaxanthin, a pigment that is commonly used as a feed additive in aquaculture. The field trial will also assess the performance of this new trait.
