Figure 6. bHLH142OE anthers show changed in expression of various metabolic pathway-related genes.
(a) Venn diagram showing common and unique genes differentially regulated in tetrad and MP anther. (b) Histogram showing number of genes upregulated and downregulated in tetrad and MP stage of transgenic anthers compared to WT. Heat map showing log2 fold changed in expression of cell wall modification (c), ROS signaling (d) and cell death (e)-related genes. (f) Validation of changed in expression of different metabolism-related genes through qRT-PCR. The data are presented as the mean ± SD (n = 3). Asterisks indicate significant difference with respect to WT (‘***’ indicates t-test p-value ≤ 0.001, ‘**’ p-value ≤ 0.01 and ‘*’ p-value ≤ 0.05).
