FA bioshyth pathway
clycerolipid synthesis plastidial
Figure 1:  Metabolic scheme for fatty acid biosynthesis and chain termination in cotton fiber.  The number of ESTs present in young fiber (7-10dpa) for each enzyme are shown in parentheses.  Enzymes for which no ESTs were found are marked with an asterisk.  Data on EST abundance was obtained from The Institute of Genomic Resources website at http://www.tigr.org .
Abbreviations:
ACCase: Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase
ACP: Acyl Carrier Protein
KAS:  Ketoacyl-ACP Synthase
Figure 2:  Metabolic scheme for plastidial glyceroplipid synthesis in cotton fiber. The number of ESTs present in young fiber (7-10dpa) for each enzyme, are shown in parentheses. Enzymes for which no ESTs have been found are noted with asteriks. Double asteriks indicated components of the pathway that may have been imported from the ER. Data on EST abundance was obtained from the institute of genomic resources website at http://www.tigr.org.

Figure 3:  Metabolic scheme for the ER glycerolipids synthesis in cotton fiber. The number of ESTs present in young fiber (7-10dpa) for each enzyme, are shown in parentheses. Enzymes for which no ESTs have been found are noted with asteriks. Data on EST abundance was obtained from the institute of genomic resources website at http://www.tigr.org.
