Figure 8

Floral organ-specific expression patterns of AcMADS genes and a deduced pineapple ABCDE model. (A)The left y-axis scales the relative expression of RT-qPCR result and Blue solid line indicated values of RT-qPCR.The right y-axis scales the FPKM value from RNA-seq result(stage1 sepal, petal, stamen, pistil) and orange dashed line indicated values of RT-qPCR. (B) Heatmap plot of expression patterns of pineapple A-, B-, C-, D-, E-class genes from another pineapple tissue-specific transcriptome. (C) A proposed pineapple flower model based on the expression patterns and referring to the ancestral functions of homeotic MADS-box genes. Blocks in different colors with distinct heights represent different expression levels. Gene functions for specific members are in brackets. *The gene function is difficult to predict because an expression split has occurred. The gaps are linked with grey lines.
