Fig. 6From: Comparative RNA-sequencing-based transcriptome profiling of buds from profusely flowering ‘Qinguan’ and weakly flowering ‘Nagafu no. 2’ apple varieties reveals novel insights into the regulatory mechanisms underlying floral inductionNumber of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between ‘Qinguan’ and ‘Nagafu No. 2’ involved in biological processes during floral induction. a DEGs up-regulated in ‘Qinguan’ buds relative to ‘Nagafu No. 2’ buds. b DEGs down-regulated in ‘Qinguan’ buds relative to ‘Nagafu No. 2’ buds. The seven types of DEG expression patterns (a-, b-, c-, d-, e-, f-, and g-type) are the same as those in the cluster analysis in Fig. 7Back to article page
