From: High oil accumulation in tuber of yellow nutsedge compared to purple nutsedge is associated with more abundant expression of genes involved in fatty acid synthesis and triacylglycerol storage

Fig. 5

Transcript levels of fatty acid synthesis. a Schematic pathway of fatty acid synthesis. Gene names are indicated in blue. Value in table cell indicates the transcript ratio of yellow to purple nutsedge. Ratios more than twofold are showed in red boldface. b Average transcript levels for plastid fatty acid synthesis genes. The data are averaged on three tuber developing stages, with error bars indicating standard deviation.
