DARMORV10_C05P55690.1 — Brassica napus

Summary

DARMORV10_C05P55690.1 on chromosome C05 of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) encodes a fatty acid desaturase with oleate D12-hydroxylase, omega-6 fatty acid desaturase, and monooxygenase activities. This gene is associated with the Kennedy pathway, lipogenesis, unsaturated fatty acid anabolism, and fatty acid metabolism, as well as lignin and flavonoid anabolism, seed development, seed germination, cell cycle, autotrophy, regeneration, NO storage, and response to salt. It is linked to ER membrane localisation. Associations with agronomic traits include linoleic acid, linolenic acid, and oleic acid content, seed weight, seed size, seed coat color, protein content, lignin content, plant height, seedling vigor, germination rate, and salt tolerance. Related genes in other species link the family to seed protein content.
