Total Number of ESTs for Similar Cellular Activities
Note: in this table similar cellular activities (e.g. identical enzymic activities occuring in different organelles) have been gouped. Groups of similar cellular activities are crosshatched (leftmost column) and do not have any code (e.g. Lipoxygenase).
Code for the cellular functions (leftmost column):
Fatty acid synthesis in plastids
Glycerolipid synthesis in plastids EST numbers for all genes are from TIGR
Glycerolipid synthesis in ER
Metabolism of acyl-lipid in mitochondria
Oil synthesis and storage
Oil and straight fatty acid degradation
Lipid signaling Data are sorted by EST number
Fatty acid elongation and wax and cutin metabolism
Miscellaneous
(the cellular activities that are grouped are often involved in several cellular functions and are thus not color-coded but crosshatched)
