comments:
  - Mutants with defective SACPD-C produce seeds with high stearic acid content.
  - Plants with defective or silent SACPD-C produce seeds high in stearic acid.
  - SACPD-C also has pleiotropic effects on nodule structure.
phenotype_synopsis: SACPD-C codes for a seed-specific enzyme that converts stearic acid into oleic acid.
