FAD3-1 — Glycine max
Summary
GmFAD3-1 (GLYMA_02G227200V4) on soybean chromosome 2 encodes a fatty acid desaturase with acyl-lipid omega-3 desaturase (cytochrome B5) and acyl-CoA 15-desaturase activities, placing it in the omega-3 fatty acid desaturase family. This gene is associated with linolenic acid content, protein content, and plant height, as well as with biological processes including unsaturated fatty acid anabolism, lipid oxidation, response to cold, and saponin anabolism. The encoded product localizes to the chloroplast membrane and endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to alpha-linolenic acid content, linoleic acid content, seed weight, seed size, germination rate, chlorophyll content, and stem diameter, though these associations are not yet established in soybean.
