Relative transcript abundance of selected genes during development of Salsola soda. Transcript abundances are plotted as a heat map, which includes four genes coding for proteins of the glyoxylate cycle, two RuBisCO subunit genes, 17 genes encoding photorespiratory proteins, and 25 genes coding for C4-associated proteins at the five developmental stages: imbibed seed (yS), mature cotyledons (Cot), mature primary leaves (1L), mature secondary leaves (2L), and leaves of a four-month old plant (oL). ICL, isocitrate lyase; MS, malate synthase; PEP-CK, PEP carboxykinase; RuBisCO small subunit 1A; RuBisCO small subunit 3b; PGP1/PGLP1, 2-phosphoglycolate phosphatase 1; GOX, glycolate oxidase; GGT1, glutamate:glyoxylate aminotransferase 1; GDC, glycine decarboxylase; SHMT1, serine hydroxymethyltransferase; AGT/SGT, serine:glyoxylate aminotransferase; HPR1, NADH-dependent hydroxypyruvate reductase 1; GLYK, glycerate 3-kinase; BCA3, β-carbonic anhydrase 3; PEPC, PEP carboxylase; NADP-MDH, NADP-dependent malate dehydrogenase; Asp-AT5, aspartate aminotransferase; NADP-ME, NADP-dependent malate enzyme; Ala-AT1, alanine aminotransferase 1; PPdK, pyruvate orthophosphate dikinase; AMK2, adenosine monophosphate kinase; PPase6, pyrophosphatase; Dit, dicarboxylate transporter; BASS, bile acid:sodium symporter family protein; NHD2, sodium:hydrogen antiporter; PPT/CUE, PEP/phosphate translocator; TPT, triose phosphate translocator; PEPC-K, PEP carboxylase kinase; PEPC-RP, PEP carboxylase-related pro ein; PPdK-RP, PPdK-related protein.(see Supplementary Table S5 for transcript details).
