Fig. 1.

Differential transcript expression of genes involved in rice (a) fatty acid biosynthesis and (b) lipid metabolism between the null segregates and OsFAD2-1 RNAi lines. Developing stages of immature endosperm and gene types are indicated above each figure, the values on the y-axis represent RPKM, and gene locus and their names are labelled underneath. Data analysed using CLC-Bio Genomic Workbench. Baggerley’s test was conducted for analysing genes between the null segregates (WT or NG) and OsFAD2-1 RNAi (RNAi) lines. The letter a: indicates significant results at p value ≤ 0.01, the letter b: indicates significant results at 0.01 ≥ p value ≤ 0.05. FAT: Acyl-ACP thioesterase A, SAD: stearoyl-ACP desaturases, LACS: Long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase, ECH1: enoyl-CoA hydratase 1, FAD: fatty acid desaturases, DGAT:acyl-CoA:DAG acyltransferase, LEC1: Leafycotyledon1
