Fig. 6From: Transcriptome sequencing of Saccharina japonica sporophytes during whole developmental periods reveals regulatory networks underlying alginate and mannitol biosynthesisSchematic representation of putative transcriptional regulatory model for alginate and mannitol metabolism in S. japonica. Pathways correlated with mannitol metabolism are colored in light orange, with involvement of photosynthesis, oxidative phosphorylation, carbon fixation, glycolysis and gluconeogenesis. Pathways correlated with alginate biosynthesis are colored in cyan, containing glyoxylate cycle, TCA cycle, gluconeogenesis, and RNA/protein synthesis and transportation. The predicted transcription factors are colored in lilacBack to article page
