A hypothesized working model illustrating the localization and roles of CzFADs in lipid metabolism in C. zofingiensis. ND, nitrogen deprivation; SD, sulfur deprivation; SS, salinity stress. The transcriptional expression pattern of CzFADs under different conditions of ND, SD, and SS is indicated by a background color: red designates up-regulation, blue designates down-regulation while gray indicates non-significant regulation. Gray arrows designate reactions not validated in the present study. CzFAD5B, CzFAD5C, CzFAD6B, CzFAD7A that showed no detected function are not included here. Note that the subcellular localization of FADs is predicted and needs to be experimentally validated. The deduced major desaturation reactions in membrane lipids are depicted in the bottom panel
