Fig. 1. The soluble
9 stearoyl-ACP desaturase (SACPD) gene from soybean. A. Gene structural organization showing exon 1, encoding a transit peptide, exons 2 and 3, and introns 1 and 2. Exon 3 contains the region of amino acid sequence variability in G. max SACPDs. B. Alignment of Glycine max cultivar Dare SACPD-A and SACPD-B protein sequences with SACPD protein sequences from Arabidopsis Ab (AAB64035), Ricinus communis (castor bean) Cb (X56508), and a Glycine max EST, Gm (L34346).
