Fig. 6From: A temporal and spatial contribution of asparaginase to asparagine catabolism during development of rice grainsSchematic model for the degradation of asparagine by ASNase2 in rice flag leaves and spikelets. ASNase2 has a role in the reutilization of asparagine in source (flag leaves) and sink (spikelets) organs. Box-shaped panel indicates the proteins in mesophyll cell (a). Round-shaped panels indicate the pools for free amino acids (a and b). Abbreviations: Asn, asparagine; Asp, aspartate; Gln, glutamine and Glu, glutamateBack to article page
