Additional file 4: of Characterization of phytohormone and transcriptome reprogramming profiles during maize early kernel development

Figure S3. Heatmap of the overlapped 100 DEGs from different contrasts. Almost all the DEGs displayed similar direction of gene expression changes that were shared among different contrasts. (A) The FPKM value of 47 DEGs were dramatically higher in ILa kernels than that in ILb kernels at all time-points, and the FPKM value of 16 DEGs (the pink line indicated) decreased to below 1 in ILb kernels after 8-DAP. (B) 35 DEGs were exclusively expressed in ILa kernels at all time-points. (C) 11 DEGs (upper part) expressed higher in ILb kernels at almost all time-points and 6 DEGs (the pink line indicated) were exclusively expressed in ILb kernels at all time-points. The number is the FPKM value and to reduce the influence of transcription noise, here we defined a gene as expressed if its FPKM value was â Ľ1. (TIF 5941 kb)
