    Also known as
    AtSSI2; F18O19.18; FAB2; FATTY ACID BIOSYNTHESIS 2; LDW1; lesion dwarf mimic 1; suppressor of SA insensitive 2
    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.
