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

Expression patterns for acyl-ACP desaturase and thioesterase. a Relative distribution of transcript levels for SAD, FATA and FATB in plant oil-rich tissues. The data are averaged on all the developing stages of sink tissues. Transcriptome data of various plant species are based on: (1) seeds of Arabidopsis [17], rapeseed [17], castor bean [17], soybean [42], burning bush [17], and hickory [39]; (2) fruits of oil palm [19], olive [41] and avocado [21]; (3) tubers of two nutsedges (this study). b Temporal changes in transcript levels (FPKM) for SAD, FATA, and FATB
