Overview of expression profiles of genes involved in starch metabolism and reserve synthesis in developing physic nut seeds.

<p>A: Profiles of starch synthesis pathway genes. B: Profiles of α-amylase (AMY) and β-amylase (BAM) starch breakdown genes. C: Profiles of fatty acid synthesis pathway genes. D: Profiles of triacylglycerol assembly pathway genes. FAD2, oleate desaturase; FAD3, linoleate desaturase; FAH12, oleic acid hydroxylase; PDAT, phospholipid:diacylglycerol acyltransferase. E: Profiles of oil-body protein genes. F: Profiles of seed storage protein genes. 11S, homologs of 11S globulins; 2S, homologs of 2S albumins; 7S, homologs of 7S and 7S-like globulins. All expression data were transformed to log2 scale for plotting the profiles, and lines in different colors in A, C, and D indicate the expression patterns of different genes in the respective metabolic pathway. Values less than −2 indicate that no expression of the gene was detected at the indicated point. Genes shown in this figure are listed in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0036522#pone.0036522.s009" target="_blank">Table S2</a>.
