Differential expression of genes involved in (A) the fatty acid biosynthesis; (B) triacylglycerol biosynthesis; (C) β-oxidation; and (D) starch biosynthesis.

Starch catabolism enzymes include: α-AMY, α-amylase (EC: 3.2.1.1); O1,6G, oligo-1,6-glucosidase (EC: 3.2.1.10); β-AMY, β-amylase (EC: 3.2.1.2); and SPase, starch phosphorylase (EC: 2.4.1.1). Ethanol fermentation via pyruvate enzymes include: PDC, pyruvate decarboxylase (EC: 4.1.1.1); and ADH, alcohol dehydrogenase (EC: 1.1.1.1). Enzymes aceE, pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 component (EC 1.2.4.1); aceF, pyruvate dehydrogenase E2 component (EC: 2.3.1.12); and pdhD, dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (EC 1.8.1.4), transforms pyruvate into acetyl-CoA. Key enzymes are shown with an asterisk (*) next to the enzyme abbreviations, and dashed arrows denote reaction(s) for which the enzymes are not shown. All presented fold changes are statistically significant, q value < 0.05.
