Overview of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in F1 hybrids compared to mid-parent values (MPVs). A, C Number of genes differentially expressed in the F1 hybrids compared to the expected MPV (FC ≥ 1.5 or ≤  − 1.5 and FDR < 0.3) under various light conditions. B F1-MPV DEGs were frequently associated with DEGs between the two parents (represented by gray bars). DMPV, FMPV, RMPV, and BMPV represent MPV for plants grown in darkness and under far-red, red, and blue light conditions, respectively. DMB, FMB, RMB, and BMB represent the F1 hybrid MB grown in darkness and under far-red, red, and blue light conditions, respectively. DBM, FBM, RBM, and BBM represent the F1 hybrid BM grown in darkness and under far-red, red, and blue light conditions, respectively
