Ratio of transcripts and metabolite levels in the glutathione-ascorbate cycle and the glutathione peroxidase cycle in Gb and Gh fiber. The pathway is adapted from [93]. Metabolites: Graphs show the level of detected metabolites across DPA in Gb (grey bars) and Gh (white bars) fiber, with each X-axis tick representing 10, 15, 18, 21, or 28 DPA. The Y-axis shows the scaled imputed means for metabolite concentrations, with the maximum value shown numerically at the top. The detected metabolites are indicated by chemical structures, except for NAD+ that was omitted for clarity Oxidized or reduced glutathione are indicated with the subscripts ‘ox’ or ‘red’. Asterisks indicate a significant difference in the cross-genotype comparison (p ≤ 0.05). Ratios of transcripts: The heat maps show the ratio of expression of different loci in Gb vs Gh fiber, with each DPA represented on the horizontal. Each row represents a different gene, portrayed in the same order for each gene type as in Fig. 9. Enzyme names putatively corresponding to the transcripts are shown adjacent to reaction arrows. Forward or reverse reactions are indicated by solid or dashed lines. All of the transcripts shown had a significantly different expression level between Gh and Gb fiber on at least one DPA, except where NS is shown in two cases
