LITERATURE
evolution
AtFAR2 is highly similar in properties and substrate specificity to AtFAR6
malfunction
mutations in specific genes encoding fatty acid reductases (FAR) re­sponsible for fatty alcohol production cause abnormal development of pollen. A disrupted AtFAR2 (MS2) gene in Arabidopsis thaliana results in pollen developing an abnormal exine layer and a reduced fertility pheno­type
physiological function
AtFAR2 is a fatty acid reductase from Arabidopsis thaliana that reduces fatty acyl-CoA and -ACP substrates into fatty alcohols, cf. EC 1.2.1.80. Enzyme AtFAR2 is the major enzyme respon­sible for exine layer functionality, AtFAR6 might provide functional redundancy to AtFAR2
