Analysis of long‐chain and short‐chain fatty acids in AKR2A‐overexpressing cotton plants. (a) Comparisons of VLCFA content in 15 DPA fibres of AKR2A‐overexpressing and wild‐type cotton plants. (b) Comparisons of VLCFAs/short‐chain fatty acids in 15 DPA fibres of AKR2A‐overexpressing and wild‐type cotton plants. (c) Fatty acid content analysis in 15 DPA fibres of AKR2A‐overexpressing and wild‐type cotton plants. (d) Comparisons of VLCFA content in mature fibres of AKR2A‐overexpressing and wild‐type cotton plants. (e) Comparisons of VLCFAs/short‐chain fatty acids in mature fibres of AKR2A‐overexpressing and wild‐type cotton plants. (f) Fatty acid content analysis in mature fibres of AKR2A‐overexpressing and wild‐type cotton plants. Data are mean ± SE (n = 3 independent measurements). DPA, post‐anthesis; SE, standard error; VLCFA, very‐long‐chain fatty acid.
