(a) The heatmap depicting expression profiles of orthologous genes in the six eggplant species S. sisymbriifolium (SIS_2007), S. aethiopicum (AET_SG), S. integrifolium (INT_2006), and S. melongena cultivars HZHQ (MEL_HZHQ), LYQ (MEL_LYQ), and S58 (MEL_S58). Scaled log2 expression values are shown with yellow and blue indicating high and low expressions, respectively. (b) Hierarchical clustering of the differentially expressed genes using the RNA-seq data derived from six samples based on RPKM values. (c) Correlation of fold change values from RNA-seq and qPCR based on the SmActin expression. The R 2 value is 0.808.
