DARMORV10_C09P14580.1 — Brassica napus

Summary

DARMORV10_C09P14580.1 on chromosome C09 of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) encodes a protein with a diacylglycerol acyltransferase domain and is annotated with diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase activity. The gene is associated with the Kennedy pathway, neutral lipid anabolism, 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 is localised to the chloroplast envelope and ER membrane. Associations with agronomically important traits include seed weight, seed size, seed maturation, seed coat colour, and contents of oleic acid, linoleic acid, starch and protein, as well as drought tolerance. Related genes in other species link the family to diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase activity (EC 2.3.1.20).
