Figure 5. Relationship between Zmfatb expression level and palmitic acid content.

Figure 5

(A) Expression analysis in BC4S2∶3 NIL with the 11-bp insertion (allelic to B73, −/−; N = 11), the 11-bp deletion (allelic to By804, +/+; N = 10) and heterozygous allele, (B73 × NIL, −/+; N = 11). RQ is the abbreviation of relative quantity. (B) Correlation analysis between Zmfatb expression level and palmitic acid content in diverse elite inbred lines in embryos collected at 20 days after pollination in 2008 (left) and 2009 (right). The grey boxes and black diamonds represent individuals that contain and lack the 11-bp fragment, respectively. P values were derived from t-tests; R values represent the correlation coefficient. RQ is the abbreviation of relative quantity.
