A compartmented in silico model of Rapeseed central metabolism

A large-scale in silico model was constructed for the simulation of the central metabolism of Rapeseed embryos. In order to validate this model, we performed constraint-based Flux Balance Analysis, through application of linear optimization methods. Further exploiting the derived model, an in silico gene deletion analysis and a systemic regulatory analysis by Singular Value Decomposition of the steady-state flux space were performed.
