Gene expression patterns of wheat orthologs during different developmental stages and under various stresses: (A,B) these seven wheat orthologs belong to common responding genes, and (C,D) these four genes belong to exclusively responding genes in DH372. Developmental stage-specific expression patterns are shown in A and C. Our selected genes tend to show higher expression during anthesis. “HIGH,” “MEDIUM,” and “LOW” expressions were based on gene expression data found in GENEVESTIGATOR (http://www.genevestigator.com). Heat map of expression of selected genes in response to various stresses (B,D) using Genevestigator perturbation tool: the relative expression of the genes was represented in a log2 ratio, and significant changes in expression were filtered out based on p < 0.001. Expression of genes was strongly induced in response to biotic stresses including Fusarium spp.
