Arabidopsis FAD2 gene encodes the enzyme that is essential for polyunsaturated lipid synthesis.

The Plant cell - 1 Jan 1994

Okuley J, Lightner J, Feldmann K, Yadav N, Lark E, Browse J

Abstract excerpt

The polyunsaturated fatty acids linoleate and alpha-linolenate are important membrane components and are the essential fatty acids of human nutrition. The major enzyme responsible for the synthesis of these compounds is the plant oleate desaturase of the endoplasmic reticulum, and its activity is controlled in Arabidopsis by the fatty acid desaturation 2 (fad2) locus. A fad2 allele was identified in a population...
