Figure 3

Multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) plot of RNA-seq expression profiles in two dimensions. For visual aid semi-transparent shapes have been overlaid to highlight the groupings of the data. On the right hand side all of the mature leaf samples are plotted (5-8) and on the left all of the apical leaves (1-4), coloured orange and green respectively. Then from top to bottom, the morning samples are at the top (A) (pink), the midday samples in the middle (E,Q,F,G,H) (Blue) and the dusk samples at the bottom (L) (pink).
