Fatty acid composition in acyl-lipids of Nicotiana benthamiana leaves obtained through agroinfiltration with PtDGAT2b encoding gene and gene combinations aimed at producing EPA (20:5∆5,8,11,14,17). The results show the effects of control (p19 + GFP), p19 + GFP + PtDGAT2b and co-expression of p19 + GFP + PtDGAT2b with gene combinations encoding: OtD6 + PSE + TcD5 and OtD6 + PSE + PtD5. Error bars present standard deviations between independent biological replicates. Asterisks above bars denote statistical significance compared to control. Statistical significance was calculated in two-tailed Student’s t-test: * – p ≤ 0.05; ** - p ≤ 0.01; *** - p ≤ 0.001
