MAPMAN map. Overview MAPMAN metabolism map showing several constantly and transiently up- and down-regulated genes related to cell wall synthesis and breakdown, fatty acid biosynthesis and lipid breakdown, starch and sucrose metabolism, glycolysis, Calvin cycle and the secondary metabolism (e.g., terpenoids, flavonoids, phenols). Signal colors: blue and green correspond to up-regulated genes between olive stages 1 and 2, and 2 and 3, respectively, whereas red and yellow correspond to down-regulated genes between olive stages 1 and 2, and 2 and 3, respectively; cyan and violet indicate, respectively, constantly up-regulated and down-regulated genes from olive stage 1 to stage 3; gray and orange indicate, respectively, transiently down- and up-regulated genes.
