PotriKCS1 Expression Predicts Alkene Accumulation.
(A) The 20 most significantly upregulated genes in AP compared with AM accessions. Average read values in units of fragments per kilobase per million fragments mapped (FPKM) are shown.
(B) RNA abundance of Potri.010G079500 in an independent set of 136 unrelated accessions grouped by their alkene phenotype.
(C) Representative plant showing the leaves that were harvested to test the developmental expression.
(D) Developmental gene expression and accumulation of alkenes in leaves from early developmental stages. Top panel: expression of Potri.010G079500 with leaf ontogeny for accessions HALS30-6 (left) and VNDL27-3 (right). Bottom panel: total amount of alkenes (C25 to C31) per gram of dry weight.
