Seed Maturation of M. truncatula in Different Environmental Conditions.

(A) to (E) Physiological analysis describing the acquisition of quality traits (water content [white circles], dry weight [green squares], desiccation tolerance [red triangles], and longevity [P50, black circles]) in developing seeds under the following conditions: (A) high temperature (26/24°C), (B) osmotic stress (OS), (C) greenhouse (GH), (D) standard (20/18°C), and (E) low temperature (14/11°C) conditions. Data are means from three independent biological repetitions of 50 seeds; error bars show sd.

(F) Representation of the developmental phases in different environmental conditions: embryogenesis (yellow), seed filling (green), and maturation drying (blue).

(G) and (H) Principal component analysis of the transcriptome of each developmental phase (embryogenesis [yellow], seed filling [green], and maturation drying [blue]) in different environmental conditions (osmotic stress [diamonds], standard [inverted triangle] low temperature [square], greenhouse [triangle], and high temperature condition [circles]).
