a The sketch map of tissues used in transcriptome analysis; b–d Number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in shoot tips (b), immature leaves (c), and mature leaves (d) of ZmOM66 OE line compared with wild type (WT); (e-g) Major GO terms of the functionally annotated DEGs in shoot tips (e), immature leaves (f), and mature leaves (g); h Starch contents in WT and ZmOM66 OE line evaluated at the end of a day (ED, ZT16) and at the end of a night (EN, ZT0). ZT indicates the zeitgeber time, and the start of a day is set as ZT0; i Pathway for carbon and nitrogen metabolism; j Metabolites showing significant content changes in ZmOM66 OE line compared to WT at ZT0; k Contents of amino acid relating to TCA cycle in WT and ZmOM66 OE lines at ZT0. In h, j, and k, each experiment was repeated three times independently. The error bars indicate mean ± SD. A two-tailed Student’s t-test was used to determine P-values between OE and WT. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
