Fig. 7

Model of gene regulation in bixin biosynthesis. Genes with qRT-quantification are represented with filled rectangles. Filled red rectangles indicate genes displaying increased expression in immature seed. Filled green rectangles indicate downregulated genes. Red unfilled rectangles indicate genes represented in the Jako’s immature seed library. Asterisks denote partial sequences. The green line indicates blocked downstream process. The green square represents the plastid. The yellow square represents the cytosol. Bright yellow marks the MEP pathway genes. The orange square contains the carotenoid pathway genes and the blue square the bixin pathway. The dashed arrow indicates lycopene feedback regulation. The figure was generated with PathVision 3.1.3 [80]
