Expression patterns for three metabolic pathways of Suc metabolism in diverse plant storage tissues. a The relative distribution of transcripts among the selected three pathways related to Suc metabolism in diverse plant storage tissues. The data are averaged on all developing stages of plant tissues. b Temporal transcriptional levels during plant development. Transcriptome data of diverse plants are based on: (1) seeds of Arabidopsis [85], rapeseed [86], soybean [68], castor bean [86], rice [69], and maize [70]; (2) fruits of oil and date palm ([87], avocado [88], and grape [89]; (3) roots of sugar beet [67] and sweet potato [57]; and (4) tubers of potato [56] and tigernut (this study)
