Figure 6.
Heatmap of gene expression and results of real-time PCR validation. Heatmap of genes related to antioxidant enzymes synthesis (A) and photosynthetic pathway (B), and the results of real-time PCR validation (C–I) under normal irrigation (control) and drought treatment (drought) in leaves of S. calendulacea, S. trilobata and their hybrid. Different lowercase letters (a, b, c, d) above bars indicate statistical significance (p < 0.05). CC: control of S. calendulacea; CT: control of S. trilobata; CH: control of the hybrids; DC: drought stress treatment of S. calendulacea; DT: drought stress treatment of S. trilobata; DH: drought stress treatment of the hybrids.
