Figure 5.

The DEGs expression enriched in auxin, gibberellin (GA) and abscisic acid (ABA) signaling pathways (A), expression levels are indicated by the heatmap at G and CK group, estimated using log2(fold change) for each transcript. The genes in the box stained with red indicate up-regulated, the box stained with green was down-regulated, the box stained with yellow has both up- and down-regulated genes in germinated seeds. Certain key genes in those pathways were determined by qRT-PCR (B). In the histogram, CK_q and G_q represents qPCR analysis; CK and G represent the FPKM value of RNA_seq (**p < 0.01).
