Table IV. Largest flux sensitivities in bna572 for biomass tradeoff (oil, protein), as judged by slopes in flux magnitude of the lower and upper bounds at standard biomass composition (37.2% [w/w] oil).

Top 10 rankings are given for TAG and protein responsiveness. All sensitivities are in Supplemental Table S7. Subsystems are taken from Supplemental Table S1. N/A, Not applicable.
