Comparative RNA-seq analysis. a The number of misregulation genes in the early and middle jointing stages. The numbers of up-regulated and down-regulated gene are shown on the bar chart. b Differentially expressed gene number in the early and middle jointing stages. c-g The read coverage of five genes shown from maize RNA-seq data. The transcripts of D3, BAK1 and Actin7 were negatively regulated, whereas that of Csdl1 was positively regulated. The y-axis represents the read coverage, and the x-axis signifies the gene structure. Red line, Br2 plant; blue line, br2 plant. h The transcript patterns of five genes were confirmed through real-time RT-PCR. Student’s t-tests showed that not significant and significant transcription differences were present in Br2 (P = 0.61) and Csld1, D3, Actin7 and BAK1 genes (P < 0.05) (Color figure online)
