FADS — Glycine max
Summary
GLYMA_10G278000V4, also known as GmFADS or GmFAD2B, encodes a fatty acid desaturase with omega-6 fatty acid desaturase, oleate D12-hydroxylase, and monooxygenase activities. This soybean gene on chromosome 10 is associated with unsaturated fatty acid anabolism, seed development, embryogenesis, nodulation, and nitric oxide storage. It has been linked to multiple seed composition traits including palmitic, linolenic, and oleic acid content, as well as protein content, seed weight, and seed size. Additional associations include chlorophyll content, proline content, transpiration rate, and stomatal resistance. The encoded protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and is also linked to RNA breakdown, post-transcriptional gene silencing, homologous recombination, and protein processing. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to linoleic acid content, drought tolerance, germination rate, and plant height.
