Time-dependent comparisons of DEGs between QH34 and DN50. a, Number of salt-responsive genes identified at each time point. b, Boxplot showing the average changes of DEGs at each time point, shown as absolute Log₂(fold change). c–e, Venn diagrams showing the extent of overlap between DEGs from QH34 and DN50 after 2 h (c), 4 h (d), or 8 h (e) of salt treatment. f, Venn diagram showing shared and unique DEGs across the three time points. g, Identification of upregulated and downregulated genes h, Heatmap showing the expression patterns of DEGs across the three salt treatment durations
