The overlapping differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between V0-MUL vs V0-TRI and V1-MUL vs V1-TRI. (a) A Venn diagram of the number of DEGs identified in the shoot apical bud analyses (V0_MUL vs V0_TRI) and in the leaf tissue analyses (V1_MUL vs V1_TRI). (b) Gene ontology (GO) terms of 37 overlapping DEGs (with false discovery rate [FDR] < 0.05). (c) A gene expression heatmap of 37 overlapping DEGs in all four sample pools. The DEGs were sorted as either down-regulated or up-regulated in the MUL sample pool, as well as according to eight gene categories. MUL, high-multifoliolate frequency bulk; TRI, low-multifoliolate frequency bulk; V0, shoot apical bud from the true leaf stage; and V1, leaf tissue from the first compound leaf
