Leaf-specific genes within QTL regions. A Number of leaf-enriched genes (red) and group-enriched genes (blue) in six tissues. Tissue-Enriched genes, expression level in leaf tissue ≥ 1 (FPKM) and also have at least five-fold higher expression levels in leaf tissue compared to all other tissues; Group-Enriched genes, expression level in leaf tissue ≥ 1 (FPKM), have at least five-fold higher expression levels in leaf and another tissue compared to all other tissues, and that were not considered as Tissue-Enriched genes. B Bubble chart of KEGG enrichment analysis of the leaf-specific genes in the six tissues (www.kegg.jp/kegg/kegg1.html). The abscissa represents enrichment factor and the ordinate represents different KEGG terms. Circle size represents the gene number while circle color represents the value of − log10 (p). C Venn diagram of leaf-specific genes and genes within QTL intervals. (D) Heatmap clustering the 29 common genes by their expression abundance
