Impact of myb115 and myb118 Mutations on the Accumulation of ω-7 Fatty Acids in the Endosperm Fraction of Developing Seeds.

(A) Schematic representation of mature Arabidopsis seeds.

(B) and (C) Time-course analysis of total FA content (B) and relative proportions of ω-7 FAs (cis-ω-7 C18:1 and cis-ω-7 C20:1) (C) in whole endosperm fractions dissected from wild-type and mutant seeds. Values are the means and se of five replicates performed on batches of 20 to 40 seeds from five distinct plants. Asterisks indicate significant difference according to t test at ***P < 0.001, **P < 0.01, and *P < 0.05, respectively.

(D) ω-7 FA (cis-ω-7 C18:1 and cis-ω-7 C20:1) content of whole endosperm fractions dissected from wild-type, myb118-1, or complemented mature dry seeds. Values are the means and se of five replicates performed on batches of 20 seeds from five distinct plants.

(E) to (G) ω-7 Fatty acid content (cis-ω-7 C18:1 and cis-ω-7 C20:1) of whole endosperm fractions (E), peripheral endosperm fractions (F), and basal endosperm fractions (G) dissected from mature seeds. Values are the means and se of five replicates performed on batches of 40 seeds from five distinct plants. Asterisks indicate significant difference according to t test at ***P < 0.001.
