Figure 1
Gene tissue-preferential and stress-differential views in the co-expression network.
Cotton_A_12989 (orthologue of MYB46) and Cotton_A_23892 (orthologue of VND6) were used to present regulatory modules among different growth stages and stress treatments. In “Gene tissue-preferential expression view”, there are six sub-networks of the two genes in different development stages, including seedling, root, stem, leaf, seed and fibre. The yellow nodes with red text are Cotton_A_12989 (orthologue of MYB46) and Cotton_A_23892 (orthologue of VND6). Grey and green nodes represent un-expressed and expressed genes, respectively, in the tissues. In addition, pink or blue lines represent positive or negative co-expression relationships, respectively, with Cotton_A_12989 (orthologue of MYB46) and Cotton_A_23892 (orthologue of VND6). In the “Gene stress-differential expression view”, there are two stress treatments (PEG and salt) and three tissues (root, stem, and leaf). The three sub-networks after PEG treatment are highlighted by circles, while the three sub-networks after salt treatment are highlighted by rectangles. Cotton_A_12989 (orthologue of MYB46) and Cotton_A_23892 (orthologue of VND6) are highlighted similarly in the “Gene tissue-preferential expression view”. Grey nodes represent un-expressed genes in the tissues; a red node indicates up-regulated gene expression after the stress treatment, while a blue node indicates down-regulated gene expression after the stress treatment; a green node indicates a gene without significant differences in expression level. In addition, pink or blue lines represent positive or negative co-expression relationships, respectively, with Cotton_A_12989 (orthologue of MYB46) and Cotton_A_23892 (orthologue of VND6). The pictures of growth stages are from the cotton chapter in the book Growth Stages of Mono and Dicotyledonous Plants.
