For the labeling information of plastidic and cytosolic acetyl-CoA, McLafferty fragments of palmitic (C16:0) and erucic acids (C22:1) were analyzed, respectively, by GC-MS (n=3). Starch and sucrose glucosyls were subject to LC-MS/MS to elucidate the labeling of plastidic and cytosolic hexoses, respectively. MID and the average labeling abundance (%) in each carbon were determined for the compounds listed from [13C]GLC and [13C]Gln experiments. The values are the average of three biological replicates ±SD. Cytosolic and plastidic compounds are denoted as ‘c’ and ‘p’, respectively.
