Comparative transcriptomic analysis of young and mature leaves under well-watered and water-deficit conditions. (A) Heatmap showing z-scores of differentially regulated genes between young and mature leaves under well-watered (WW) and water deficit (WD) conditions (10d-WD). Z-scores are represented by a diverging color scale from low (blue) to high (red), centered on 0 (light yellow). Clusters were determined by K-means clustering and cluster assignments (numbered 1-7) are given on the left-most column. Gene cluster assignments are given in Suppl. Table S3. (B) Line plots detailing average (± SE) gene expression in each cluster for young and mature leaves under WW and WD conditions. Values are given in variance stabilized transformed (VST) counts. The average gene expression for mature leaves is shown in yellow, and for young leaves in blue.
