Fig.4 Genetic and expression analysis of the genes for LA and HSYA biosynthesis. A Phylogenetic analysis of DGATs. I represents subfamilies of DGAT2. II represents subfamilies of DGAT1. Green color indicates DAGTs from Z. mays. Blue indicates DGATs from soybean. Purple indicates DGATs from H. annuus. Red indicates DGATs from safflower. B Phylogenetic analysis of FAD2. Colors have the same meanings as for DGATs. C Chromosome distribution of candidate genes. Green indicates genes for CGTs, red for CYPs, blue for DAGTs, and black for FAD2. D Gene expression for DGATs. E Gene expression for FAD2. F Gene expression for CYPs. G Gene expression for CGTs.
