Expression levels of parsnip and sugar beet genes encoding functions in starch accumulation. Number of tap-root Illumina HiSeq 2000 reads per million reads (RPM) mapped on reference assemblies of P. sativa (Psa) and B. vulgaris (Bvu) corresponding to different cDNAs of functions involved in starch accumulation. The closest homologous Arabidopsis thaliana loci by BLASTx are given in the figure. GPT – glucose phosphate transporter, PGM1 – plastidic phosphoglucomutase, APS – ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase small subunit, APL – ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase large subunit, SS – soluble starch synthase, GBSS – granule bound starch synthase, SBE – starch branching enzyme, ISA – isoamylase, PHS – starch phosphorylase, NTT – ATP/ADP translocator and PPa6 – plastidic pyrophosphorylase.
