Fig. 5From: Uncovering early transcriptional regulation during adventitious root formation in Medicago sativaExpression profiles of DEGs in cell life cycle during alfalfa AR formation. a Heat map diagram of log2 (FPKM) values for genes annotated as cell wall degradation and remodeling and sugar metabolism related genes. b Heat map diagram of log2 (FPKM) values for genes annotated as root development-, cell cycle-, stem cell- genes and protease-related genes. c-g Relative expression of five DEGs determined by qRT-PCR. Data represent the average from four biological replicates. Data are shown as means and the error bars indicate the standard deviation (± SD). A significant difference between two stages was indicated with asterisks (ns, *, **, or ***) at ns, P < 0.05, 0.01, or 0.001 by Student’s t-testBack to article page
