a Principal component analysis (PCA) of three genotypes (CC-A03, CC-Z16, and PC-024) based on transcript abundance in young leaves at four developmental stages: seedling (S), rosette (R), folding (F), and heading (H) stages. The red line represents heading Chinese cabbage CC-A03, the green line represents heading Chinese cabbage CC-Z16, and the orange line represents non-heading pak-choi PC-024. Sample labels were colored according to developmental stages: seedling stage (S)-red, rosette stage (R)-green, folding stage (F)-blue, and heading stage (H)-yellow. For PC-024, stages are (S)-red, rosette stage 1 to 3 (R1)-green, (R2)-blue, and (R3)-yellow. The samples were clustered based on the overall gene expression. b Cluster analysis by “ward” method for the three genotypes and four developmental stages (S, R/R1, F/R2, and H/R3). The average values of the two biological repeats were used.
