In Silico Identification and Comparative Genomics of Candidate Genes Involved in Biosynthesis and Accumulation of Seed Oil in Plants

Figure 2

Structure of ACCase gene in Arabidopsis (26 exons), castor bean (31 exons), and soybean (33 exons); thick arrows and thin lines represented exons and introns, respectively. Arabidopsis 1–26 exons showed identity to 6 to 31st and 6 to 33rd exons of castor bean and soybean, respectively; 16th exon of castor bean showed identity to three exons of soybean (16th, 17th, and 18th). A 3 bp deletion (del) in the 8th and 26th exons of castor bean, 3 bp deletion and 3 bp insertion (in) in the 31st and 29th exons of soybean, and a 12 bp insertion in the 24th and 26th exons of castor bean and soybean, respectively. At1g36180: Arabidopsis ACCase gene; 29908.m005991: Castor bean ACCase gene; Glyma04g11550: Soybean ACCase gene.
