Comparative Transcriptomics Reveals 129 Transcripts That Are Temporally Regulated during Anther Development and Meiotic Progression in Both Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum) and Rice (Oryza sativa)

Figure 3

Hierarchical clustering of 129 rice transcripts that were regulated over the progression of meiosis. The expression profiles of 129 transcripts (rows) were grouped across four anther stages (columns) in a heat map (a). Similar expression profiles are clustered together as indicated by the dendrogram. The expression profiles of two clusters that are preferentially expressed in premeiotic and/or meiotic stages which display similar expression profiles are highlighted in blue on the dendrogram. These clusters representing 7 and 39 transcripts are also shown separately in (b) and (c), respectively. Premeiosis (PM), meiosis (M), immature pollen (IP), mature anthers (MAN). Expression values (indicated by green through to red in colour) are centred, log base 2, RMA-normalised values.
