Fig. 5: Differentially expressed genes identified in pairwise comparisons of five groups of tea accessions.
From: Metabolite signatures of diverse Camellia sinensis tea populations
a Number of differentially expressed genes in pairwise comparisons of five groups of tea accessions. Numbers of up- and downregulated genes are indicated in red and blue, respectively. b Heatmap showing the expression patterns of genes that are known to be involved in the biosynthesis of catechins (in red), caffeine (in blue), and theanine (in black), and show significant changes in expression in at least one pairwise comparison. c, d Box plots of gene expression values (log2-transformed counts per million) of TCS and F3′5′H in different tea groups. (n = 25 for Group 1, 9 for Group 2, 28 for Group 3, 26 for Group 4, and 34 for Group 5). Boxes = interquartile ranges, middles = medians, whiskers = 1.5 × the interquartile range, single points = outliers. Source data underlying b, c, and d are provided as a Source Data file.
