Table 1.
Number of amino acids, location, and function of different Arabidopsis reductases and their sequence similarities with DET2 and SRD5A2. The online tool, EMBL-EBI (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/psa/), was used to determine the similarity between different proteins.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DET2 | Campesterol reduction | 262 | 2 | – | 50 |
| DET2L (AT5G16010) | Unknown | 268 | 5 | 42 | 43 |
| PPRD1 | Polyprenol reduction | 320 | 1 | 35 | 27.5 |
| PPRD2 | Polyprenol reduction | 343 | 2 | 34 | 27.5 |
| CER10 | trans-2,3-enoyl-CoA reduction | 310 | 3 | 29 | 28 |
