Fig. 6From: Release of moth pheromone compounds from Nicotiana benthamiana upon transient expression of heterologous biosynthetic genesHeterologous expression of fatty acyl reductase candidate gene CsupFAR2 and fatty acyl desaturase genes CsupYPAQ and CsupKPSE in Nicotiana benthamiana. GC/MS analysis of fatty alcohol (a–e) and corresponding fatty acid (f, j) profiles of plant leaves expressing the a, f CsupFAR2, b, g CsupYPAQ-CsupFAR2, c, h CsupKPSE-CsupFAR2, d, i CsupYPAQ-CsupKPSE-CsupFAR2, and wild type (e and j). Fatty alcohols produced by the introduced genes are shown in red. Eighteen micrograms of Z8-13:OAc per gram fresh leaf was added during the extraction as internal standard. Displayed chromatograms are representative examples of at least six replicatesBack to article page
