Fig. 6From: Transcriptome analysis and identification of genes associated with ω-3 fatty acid biosynthesis in Perilla frutescens (L.) var. frutescens Polyunsaturated FA synthesis. a Polyunsaturated fatty acid synthesis pathway in ER and chloroplast. GL, glycerolipids. b Amino acid alignment of perilla (Pfr) FAD3 and FAD7/8. Red rectangles indicate His box, green line indicates a chloroplast transit peptide. c Phylogenetic analysis of plant FAD2, FAD3 and FAD8 desaturases. d Expression of FAD2, FAD3 and FAD7/8. Abbreviations are described as in Fig. 2 Back to article page
