TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a class 2 non-symbiotic hemoglobin. Over-expression of AHb2 in seeds led to a 40% increase in the total fatty acid content of developing and mature seeds in three subsequent generations. This was mainly due to an increase in the poly-unsaturated C18:2 (omega-6) linoleic and C18:3 (omega-3) alpha-linolenic acids. |
