Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: TaFAD3
• Gene Name: omega-3 fatty acid desaturase
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• Temperature-dependent translational regulation of the ER omega-3 fatty acid desaturase gene in wheat root tips.
• The level of TaFAD3 protein in microsomal preparations of the root tips grown at 10 degrees C was approximately 7.5 times higher than that of the root tips grown at 30 degrees C.
• The effect of temperature on expression of the TaFAD3 gene, which encodes endoplasmic reticulum omega-3 desaturase in wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Chihoku), was analysed at the mRNA and protein levels.
• These results suggest that, in root tips, the increase in the 18:3 level at low temperature is achieved directly by an increase in the amount of TaFAD3 protein, and that temperature-dependent translational regulation of the TaFAD3 gene, rather than its transcriptional regulation, contributes to modulation of the TaFAD3 protein accumulation.
