Fig. 5: Heatmaps showing clustered expression patterns of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from a GA3-treated and hand-pollinated hypanthium, ovary, and ovule.

a 18 days after treatment (DAT). b 132 DAT. DEGs were identified by comparing GA3-treated and hand pollinated with a fold difference ≥ 2 and a Bonferroni correction value ≤ 0.05. Each treatment contains at least three biological replicates which cluster based on similarity in expression pattern. Gray = hand-pollinated, Fuchsia = GA3-treated. Normalized expression values range from < 0.4 (bright blue) to > 1.6 (bright red). Total number of DEGs identified for 18 DAT: hypanthium = 412, ovary = 958, ovule = 8074, 132 DAT: hypanthium = 19, ovary = 105
