Gene expression changes during floral induction.

<p>(A) Gene expression data obtained through RNA-Seq analysis. (B) Real time RT-PCR analyses of gene expression ratios. The white box represents gene expression changes between H1 and H2. The grey box represents gene expression changes between L and H1. The black box represents gene expression changes between L and H2. The y-axis represents the fold change of the gene, which was calculated using the log₂ value of each induction stage. The bars represent the standard error (n = 3). (C) Pearson correlation analysis of the gene expression ratios obtained from the RNA-Seq and the real time RT-PCR data. The real time RT-PCR log₂ values (expression ratios; y-axis) were plotted against the RNA-Seq log₂ values (x-axis). The Pearson correlation coefficient (R) is given in the plot, and the asterisks indicate the extreme significant difference at <i>P</i> < 0.01.
