Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Key Pathways and Hormone Activities Involved in Early Microtuber Formation of Dioscorea opposita

Figure 5

Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the microtuber formation-stage comparisons. (a) DEG Venn diagram. The sum of the numbers in each large circle represents the total number of DEGs of the comparative combination, and the circle overlapping part represents what the DEG combination has in common. (b) Whole-study overview of log-fold changes in gene expression in comparisons BUD vs. EXP (upper left), MTV vs. EXP (upper right), and MTV vs. BUD (down left). The -axis indicates the log-fold changes between the two samples. The -axis indicates the absolute expression levels (–log₁₀ (Padj)). The number of up- or downregulated genes in BUD vs. EXP, MTV vs. EXP, and MTV vs. BUD are shown in the down-right panel.
