Figure 5

Potential regulatory pathways and candidate genes associated with fatty acid synthesis in B. napus . a, the fatty acid biosynthetic pathway; b, the phospholipid synthesis and other pathways; c, the triacylglycerol and fatty acid degradation. The black characters indicate genes detected in previous studies and also in this study, the red characters indicate genes not found in this study but in previous studies. The colored arrows indicate genes underlying a QTL which affects traits with additive effect, up-arrows indicate QTLs with positive additive and down-arrows a negative additive effect. The double-headed arrows indicate genes underlying different QTLs which affect the same trait with opposite additive effect at the same time based on the WinQTLcart2.5 and QTLNetwork_2.0 results (not combined results of the two). Different colors denote different traits as the bar shown at the lower right corner of the picture. The abbreviations of gene name are same with the following reference papers [30,37,38].
