    What's a GeneRIF?
    1. An orthologue of the Arabidopsis LACS2 gene, a long chain acyl-CoA synthetase, BnLACS2, located in the endoplasmic reticulum was identified in B. napus. BnLACS2 transcription increased the expression of genes involved in glycolysis, and FA and lipid synthesis in developing seeds. These results suggested that BnLACS2 is an important factor for seed oil production in B. napus.
