| TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a stearoyl-ACP desaturase, involved in fatty acid desaturation. The ssi2 mutants have increased 18:0 and reduced 18:1 fatty acids. Exogenous application of glycerol to wild type plants mimics the ssi2 mutant phenotype. The altered 18:1 fatty acid content in the ssi2 mutants has an impact on SA- and JA-mediated defense signaling. ssi2 mutants resulted in hyper-resistance to green peach aphid and antibiosis activity in petiole exudates. Redundant Δ9 stearoyl-ACP desaturase gene which together with AAD1 and AAD5 during embryo development provide precursors for the elaboration of embryo cuticle and therefore plays a specific role during the phase of invasive embryo growth through the endosperm. Together with AAD1, AAD5, and AAD6 redundantly participates in oil storage during the maturation phase. |
