Figure 3 Functional Classification of Differentially Expressed Proteins and Metabolites in CYP79F1 RNAi Lines 2–1 and 39–2 Compared to Vector Control. (A) Subcellular localization of differentially expressed proteins. The number next each bar is the number of proteins confidently assigned to each subcellular location. (B) Functional groups of differentially expressed proteins. The table shows the distribution of proteins in each functional category. The number highlighted gray is the total number of proteins in each category. The bar graph shows the distribution of the proteins into their functional classes. Please refer to Supplemental Table 3 for details. (C) Functional groups of differential metabolites. Please refer to Supplemental Table 4 for details.

Figure 7 Model of Glucosinolate Network Derived from Proteomics and Metabolomics of Plants with Perturbed Glucosinolate Biosynthesis. Down-regulation of CYP79F1 and CYP79F2 caused accumulation of methionine and SAM, which can lead to changes in the levels of other amino acids and sugars, chloroplast dysfunction, oxidative stress, and changes in other primary and secondary metabolisms, especially hormone metabolism. All these processes combined result in the ultimate plant phenotype. Molecular Plant 2012 5, 1138-1150DOI: (10.1093/mp/sss034) Copyright © 2012 The Authors. All rights reserved. Terms and Conditions
