Expression profiles of genes associated with hormones signaling across five different stages. The expression of genes involved in hormones signaling and transduciton-related pathways was Z-score normalized and hierarchically clustered in heatmap. Z-scores were calculated from the log2 fold change values. Z-score = (log2 fold change of TPM values—mean of log2 fold changes of all TPM values of the samples) / standard deviation of log2 fold changes of all TPM value of the samples. A color scale is showed at the top. Green color indicates lower expression, and red color indicates higher expression
