From: Transcriptome responses in alfalfa associated with tolerance to intensive animal grazing
Grazing suppressed genes from grazing responsive molecular pathways that were differentially expressed between grazing tolerant and intolerant alfalfa plants.
Homologous transcripts of 9 genes were suppressed by grazing in the tolerant population and were expressed at lower levels in the intolerant versus the tolerant plants both of which were grazed. Representative expression profiles of four genes from four different pathways are provided in (a–d). Complete results are available in Supplemental Figure 2S. The horizontal axis identifies the three transcriptomes that were evaluated: tolerant plants not grazed, tolerant plants grazed and intolerant plants grazed. The vertical axis, fragments per kilobase of transcript per million mapped reads (FPKM), represents normalized read abundance of homologous transcripts of a given gene.
