Identification of a gene that complements an Arabidopsis mutant deficient in chloroplast omega 6 desaturase activity.

Plant physiology - 1 Dec 1994

Falcone D L, Gibson S, Lemieux B, Somerville C

Abstract excerpt

Membrane lipids of the fad6 (formerly fadC) mutant of Arabidopsis, which is deficient in chloroplast omega 6 desaturase activity, have increased levels of monounsaturated fatty acids and are deficient in trienoic fatty acids. A putative fad6 cDNA clone was isolated by probing a cDNA library with a degenerate oligonucleotide based on a conserved region within known omega 3 desaturase genes. Expression of the cDNA...
