DARMORV10_A05P37230.1 — Brassica napus

Summary

DARMORV10_A05P37230.1 on oilseed rape (Brassica napus) chromosome A05 encodes a fatty acid desaturase with oleate D12-hydroxylase, omega-6 fatty acid desaturase, and monooxygenase activities. This gene is associated with fatty acid breakdown, lipogenesis, unsaturated fatty acid anabolism, triglyceride anabolism, and regulation of lipogenesis, as well as glyoxylate and pyruvate metabolism, starch metabolism, seed growth, seed coat development, seed maturation, and lipid storage. It is linked to linoleic acid, linolenic acid, and oleic acid content, seed weight, seed protein content, seed viability, leaf area index, net photosynthetic rate, stomatal resistance, and protein content. The encoded protein localizes to the ER membrane. Studies of related genes in other species, including FAD2 and FAH12, connect this family to germination rate.
