FA synthesis and TAG assembly in the oil palm mesocarp as reconstructed from the 454 pyrosequencing transcriptome. Contig names followed by asterisks indicate contigs showing significant variations during development according to Audic-Claverie and FDR statistics (contig group I). Gene expression levels at 100, 120, 140, and 160 DAP are indicated with colored bars. For the developmental stage displaying maximal expression level, the normalized transcript abundance, expressed as the number of transcripts per 200,000 transcripts, is given. For the other stages, expression levels are indicated as percentages of the maximal normalized transcript abundance of the gene, as described in the color code from 0% (white) to 100% (dark blue).
