DARMORV10_A09P12360.1 — Brassica napus

Summary

DARMORV10_A09P12360.1 on oilseed rape chromosome A09 encodes a diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase, a member of the MBOAT family with a diacylglycerol acyltransferase domain. This gene is associated with neutral lipid anabolism, the Kennedy pathway, lipid homeostasis and storage, as well as malonyl-CoA and glycerol metabolism. It is linked to responses to hormones and metal ion stress, and to gluconeogenesis and starch anabolism. The encoded protein localises to the chloroplast envelope and ER membrane. Associations with agronomically important traits include linoleic and oleic acid content, seed weight, seed size, seed maturation, seed coat color, starch and protein content, and drought tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase activity (EC 2.3.1.20).
