Figure 8: Summary of transcription-level regulation of ‘Old Blush’ petal development.
From: Comparative RNA-seq analysis of transcriptome dynamics during petal development in Rosa chinensis
Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) that may regulate petal development include petal colour genes and expansion-related genes (those with more than a one-fold change in expression, Padj < 0.05; box with solid black line), transcription factors (those with more than a five-fold change in expression, Padj < 0.05; box with black dotted line), and phytohormone synthesis and signalling genes (those with more than a one-fold change in expression, Padj < 0.05; box with blue dotted line). These genes were either up-regulated (orange) or down-regulated (blue) as petal development progressed.
