Transcriptomic comparison of SAM between WT and VIGS-silenced GoCEN plants in G. hirsutum and G. barbadense. a The SAM from wild type and VIGS-silenced GoCEN Pima S-6 at the three-leaf stage. Red arrows show growing points differentiated into fruit or fruiting branches. Scale bars, 100 μm. b Venn diagram showing the number of differentially expressed genes in WT and VIGS-silenced GoCEN G. hirsutum and G. barbadense. c Heatmap visualization of 37 MADS box transcription factors that are significantly differentially expressed in WT and VIGS-silenced GoCEN plants in G. hirsutum and G. barbadense. Red indicates up-regulated and blue indicates down-regulated expression values
