Validation of differentially expressed candidate genes. a qRT-PCR analysis of five up-regulated genes in response to heat stress in XT and ZF. b Expression of five up-regulated genes in XT and ZF based on RNA-seq data. c qRT-PCR analysis of five down-regulated genes in response to heat stress in XT and ZF. d Expression of five down-regulated genes in XT and ZF based on RNA-seq data. Three independent experimental replicates were analyzed for each sample, and data were indicated as mean ± SE (n = 3)
