a Auxin and cytokinin signal transduction. b Expression of candidate genes involved in ethylene biosynthesis and signal transduction based on KEGG pathway enrichment analysis. The gene abundances were calculated and normalized to RPKM (Reads Per kb per Million reads). c The relative expression levels of 9 selected genes at different stages of floral bud development in M and H. Relative expression levels were calculated by the 2-ΔΔCt method with actin as a standard. 11-Apr, 21-Apr, and 4-May represent the pistils of flowers when their development stages were 5, 6, and 8, respectively. However, here, we mainly discussed stage 6, which is the most important development stage for sex differentiation in T. sinensis (for details, see ‘Structure of the flower’)
