Fig. 4: Environment-induced heritable gene expression changes are found in each ancestral environmental treatment, and the predictability of environment-induced gene expression changes.

From: Environment-induced heritable variations are common in Arabidopsis thaliana

Fig. 4

a The number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) for each genotype, ancestral environment treatment and offspring generation. b The number of DEGs (mean ± SE) varied significantly between different genotypes, but not between treatments and generations. The number of DEGs are estimated from three independent biological replicates (n = 3) per genotype/treatment/generation. Significance is tested using linear models with two-sided F statistics. c The number of heritable DEGs (genes significantly differentially expressed in two, three or four offspring generations) for each genotype and treatment. d The number of heritable DEGs for different genotypes could be predicted from the abundance of transposons in several superfamilies. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
