Abstract excerpt
A high-oleate trait in the cultivated peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.) was reported to rely on the allelic composition of the two homeologous, microsomal oleoyl-PC desaturase genes ( ahFAD2A or ahFAD2B). The enzyme activity of either ahFAD2A or ahFAD2B is sufficient for a normal oleate phenotype, and a significant reduction in the levels of ahFAD2B and a mutation in ahFAD2A were reported to be responsible for the...
