Differential expression of genes from VIGS plants. A, Venn diagrams showing the number of genes that are up- or downregulated in VIGS N. benthamiana plants. B, Heat map of transcript levels of off-target genes identified in respective VIGS plants. At right are the genes predicted to be off-targets for the fragments used for VIGS. RNA-Seq analysis was carried out from the 3-week-old VIGS plants with three biological replicates. The expression values were transformed into Z-scores (across each row).
