Fig. 7From: Transcriptional networks orchestrating red and pink testa color in peanutValidation of gene expression level of the key functional genes likely to be involved during the regulation of pink and red testa in peanut using qRT-PCR assay (a) DEGs selected from the up-stream regulatory anthocyanin pathway (b) DEGs selected from the down-stream regulatory anthocyanin pathway (c) DEGs selected from the iso-flavonoid regulatory pathway (d) DEGs encoding important transcription factors involved in anthocyanin pathway in peanut. Pearson’s correlation analysis of the RNA-seq and qRT-PCR in (e) bulk pink-vs-bulk red peanuts and (f) Y9102-vs-ZH12 peanuts. The black bars in the y-axis indicate the relative expression level of genes quantified by qRT-PCR, whereas the white bars indicate the expression results from the transcriptome data. The x-axis demonstrates the expression results obtained from bulk pink-vs-bulk red and Y9102-vs-ZH12 testa peanuts. The data were presented as means of three independent biological replicates, and error bars denote ± SE (n = 3)Back to article page
