FATA2 — Brassica napus

Summary

BnFATA2 (DARMORV10_C04P42850.1) on chromosome C04 of oilseed rape encodes an acyl-ACP thioesterase of the FATA/B family with acyl-ACP hydrolase activity. This gene is associated with fatty acid metabolism, lipogenesis, and the biosynthesis of triglycerides, unsaturated fatty acids, cutin, and wax. It has been connected to seed oil content, fatty acid composition, seed weight, seed maturation, and protein content. Associations also include photosynthetic rate, net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, stomatal resistance, and drought tolerance. Additional links involve lipid homeostasis, lipid storage, embryogenesis, and responses to water. Related genes in other species are linked to leaf oil content.
