FAD2 — Daucus carota subsp. sativus
Summary
DCAR_027615 (symbol DcFAD2) on carrot chromosome 8 encodes a fatty acid desaturase with acyl-lipid omega-6 desaturase, delta12 fatty acid acetylenase, omega-3 fatty acid desaturase, and oleate D12-hydroxylase activities. The product localises to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and is associated with unsaturated fatty acid anabolism, fatty acid metabolism, and lipid metabolism. DcFAD2 has been connected to linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid content, xanthophyll content, temperature stress responses, aphid response, flower development, water use efficiency, stomatal resistance, seed growth and development, disease tolerance, and plant growth traits. Associations also include aphid resistance, fatty acid desaturation deficiency, altered fatty acid composition, tocopherol deficiency, suppressed cold stress phenotypes, punicic acid accumulation, seed oil melting point, seed viability, and lipid content.
