Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Glyma.08g349200
• Gene Symbol: GmFATA1B
• Gene Name: GmFATA1B
• Genome: Wm82.a4.v1
• Species: Glycine max

Functional Descriptions:

• Natural variation of GmFATA1B regulates seed oil content and composition in soybean.
• Identified GmFATA1B as the gene underlying a QTL that regulates seed oil content and composition, as well as seed size in soybean.
• Nine extra amino acids in the conserved region of GmFATA1B impair its function as a fatty acyl–acyl carrier protein thioesterase, thereby affecting seed oil content and composition.
• Heterogeneously overexpressing the functional GmFATA1B allele in Arabidopsis thaliana increased both the total oil content and the oleic acid and linoleic acid contents of seeds. Our findings uncover a previously unknown locus underlying variation in seed oil content in soybean and lay the foundation for improving seed oil content and composition in soybean.
