Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and their Gene Ontology (GO) annotations during early imbibition of maize embryos. (A) venn diagram of DEGs distributed in maize embryo samples during seed imbibition at 25°C; (B) histogram of GO classifications of the DEGs in maize embryos under 25°C imbibition. Total 406 DEGs were annotated to three main categories. The y-axis on the right side indicated the number of genes and y-axis on the left side meant the percent of genes in a category; (C) venn diagram of DEGs distributed in maize embryo samples under chilling condition; (D) histogram of GO classifications of the DEGs in maize embryos under 5°–25°C imbibition. Total 853 DEGs were annotated. Other explanations see Figure 1.
