Pairwise relation between the genes’ expression level, determined at the mid-stage of the developmental cycle (T0), and their t1/2. The three graphs, both in panel A and panel B, represent the relation obtained for three different groups of genes of L2b/CS19-08 and E/CS1025-11 strains, respectively. Those three groups of genes were defined according to the t1/2 they exhibited: 1) all transcripts with calculated t1/2; 2) transcripts with t1/2 ≤ 30 min; and 3) transcripts with t1/2 ≤ 10 min. Both the linear correlation coefficient (R2) and the Pearson correlation coefficient (P) are shown in each graph.
