Relative transcriptional activity and corresponding correlation analysis of eight SbGATAs (SbGATA04, SbGATA11, SbGATA15, SbGATA16, SbGATA27, SbGATA28, SbGATA29 and SbGATA33) in fruit and husk at different grain-filling stages. (A) Relative transcriptional activity of eight SbGATAs in the fruit and husk during early, middle, and late grain-filling stages. Values of column chart are expressed as Mean ± SD, the different lowercase letters represent significant differences (p<0.05, Duncan test). (B) Correlation analysis of relative transcriptional activity between fruit and husk during the grain-filling stage. Positive number represents positive correlation and negative number indicates negative correlation. The right color scale (−0.20 to 1.00, yellow to green) represents the normalized gene expression correlation.
