comments:
  - Expression of B1 in transgenic plants negatively correlates with the accumuation of oil and positively correlates with the amount of bloom.
  - Overexpression of B1 reduced fatty acid content in seed pods and increased bloom on the seed coat.
phenotype_synopsis:
  - B1 encodes a transmembrane transport protein and has pleiotropic effects.
  - B1 downregulates fatty acid biosynthesis in seed pods and causes bloom to be deposited on the seed coat.
