Fig. 3From: Full-length transcript sequencing and comparative transcriptomic analysis to evaluate the contribution of osmotic and ionic stress components towards salinity tolerance in the roots of cultivated alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.)The expression pattern of ten selected genes identified by RNA-Seq was verified by qRT-PCR. a Heat map showing the expression changes (log2-fold change) in response to the CK to M5 treatments for each candidate gene as measured by RNA-Seq and qRT-PCR. b Scatter plot showing the changes in the expression (log2-fold change) of selected genes based on RNA-Seq via qRT-PCR. The gene expression levels are indicated by coloured barsBack to article page
