From: SmMYC2a and SmMYC2b played similar but irreplaceable roles in regulating the biosynthesis of tanshinones and phenolic acids in Salvia miltiorrhiza

Figure 5

The production of phenolic acids and the expression of biosynthetic genes were repressed in MYC2-RNAi hairy roots compared with control.

MYC2a, SmMYC2a suppressed hairy roots. MYC2b, SmMYC2b suppressed hairy roots. PAL, phenylalanine ammonialyase; C4H, cinnamic acid -4-hydroxylase; 4CL, hydroxycinnamate, coenzyme A ligase; TAT, tyrosine aminotransferase; HPPR, 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate reductase; HPPD, 4-hydroxy phenyl pyruvate dioxygenase; HCT, hydroxy-cinnamoyl transferase; CYP98A14, cytochrome P450 monooxygenase 98A14. Red indicated enhanced expression or production; blue indicated repressed expression or production; white indicated the expression of control; darker color indicated more significant change. The relative expression values were converted into color array by Microsoft Excel software (version 2010). All the values were ratios of average gene expression level or compounds content in MYC2-RNAi hairy roots to control.
