FAD3-1 — Glycine max
Summary
GmFAD3-1 (GLYMA_14G194300V4) on soybean chromosome 14 encodes a fatty acid desaturase with acyl-lipid omega-3 desaturase (cytochrome B5) activity, acyl-CoA 15-desaturase activity, and linolenate delta15 desaturase activity. This membrane-associated protein localizes to both the chloroplast membrane and ER membrane. The gene is associated with seed development and germination, fatty acid and lipid metabolism, including unsaturated fatty acid anabolism and lipid oxidation. It is linked to multiple seed composition traits, including alpha-linolenic acid, linoleic acid, palmitic acid, and linolenic acid content, as well as protein content and seed weight. Additional associations include plant height, stem diameter, chlorophyll content, proline content, seed coat color, germination rate, and salt tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species link the FAD3 family to seed size.
