Transcript abundance of genes involved in sulfate assimilation in leaves of C3, C4, and C3–C4 intermediate plants. Based on the transcriptomic data of nine Flaveria species by Mallmann et al. (2014) obtained in four independent cultivations harvested at different seasons (1, September 2009; 2, June 2010; 3, October 2010; 4, April 2011), the transcript levels of the individual cultivations (A) and mean values (B) were normalized and plotted in heat maps. C3: F. pringlei, F. robusta; C3–C4: F. chloraefolia, F. pubescens, F. anomala, F. ramosissima; C4-like: F. brownii; C4: F. bidentis, F. trinervia. (C) The relative transcript abundances of genes participating in sulfate assimilation in the Cleome species C. gynandra (C4) and C. spinosa (C3) are based on the Brautigam et al. (2011). Transcripts were annotated by allocation to their Arabidopsis homologues. APR1 and APR2, APS reductase; APS1 and APS2, ATP sulfurylase; SIR, sulfite reductase.
