Figure 3

Rate of gene expression change between successive sampling points increases over time in female (a) and male (b) reproductive buds. Red is upregulation over time, green is downregulation. Little month-to-month change in expression occurs over the first few time points, but this rapidly increases as more complex organs develop which have gene expression that is specific to particular developmental time point. The final time point has a large amount of specific gene expression associated with reproductive organ and pollen formation. DEG: differentially expressed genes.
