Heterologous 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 (ae) and corresponding fatty acid (f, j) profiles of plant leaves expressing the a, CsupFAR2, b, CsupYPAQ-CsupFAR2, c, CsupKPSE-CsupFAR2, d, 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 replicates
