Figure 2.
Transcriptomic analysis of age-dependent senescence. (A) Numbers of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (Padj ≤ 0.05, Log2FC ± 1) in M3 leaves at day 28, 35 and 42 vs. day 21, calculated from the FPKM values from three biological replicates for each time point. (B) Venn diagram showing overlap among DEGs in M3 leaves at 28, 35 and 42 DAS vs. 21 DAS, using DiVenn (https://divenn.tch.harvard.edu; accessed on 30 March 2022). (C) STEM clustering of DEGs exhibiting similar expression patterns at 21, 28, 35 and 42 DAS. The numbers outside the boxes in (C) represent gene numbers. The numbers in the upper left corner inside the boxes in (C) indicate the profile number, and in the lower left corner, the p values.
