Fig. 5. Schematic of the transcriptome and proteome revealing the regulation of the long fatty acid biosynthesis pathway in the russet fruit skin of sand pear.

a A detailed diagram of long fatty acid biosynthesis including the subset of nodes or metabolites and enzymes that are involved in the process. The enzymes with repressed expression in russet fruit skin at the transcript and/or protein levels are shown in green. b Heat map of differentially expressed transcripts or proteins. Transcript c and protein abundance d of russet-related genes involved in long fatty acid biosynthesis
