The expression and enzymatic activities of genes involved in post phloem unloading in the storage root of cassava. a, b Relative expression difference of CWI and SuSy measured by Q–PCR. c Heat map comparisons of differential gene expression of CWIs, SuSys and SUTs. d The expression profiling of SUTs (SUT1, SUT2 and SUT4) in leaves and storage roots measured by Q–PCR. e The expressed protein levels of SuSy, CWI and SAI assessed by immunoblotting. f Enzymatic activities of SuSy (triangles), CWI (squares) and SAI (circles). The column chart in a, b, d and the curve chart in f were performed by Micro software Excel 2016. All of them were with cropped edges and adjusted position using Adobe Photoshop CS6.0 software. E, Early stage of storage root; M, Middle stage of storage root; L, Late stage of storage root; PFR, Primary fibrous root and SFR, Secondary fibrous root; a, b and c denote significantly different levels at P < 0.05
