Gene expression analysis of metacaspase using the Genevestigator tool. (A–C) Expression data of tomato, rice, and Arabidopsis metacaspase transcripts were retrieved from Genevestigator at developmental stages and in response to different biotic and abiotic stress conditions [60]. Transcript abundance in microarray datasets of developmental stages was retrieved for eight tomato SIMCs, eight rice OsMCs, and nine Arabidopsis AtMCs, and analyzed. In perturbations, fold change in expression as compared to respective untreated/control sample was retrieved for each biotic and abiotic stress conditions. Up-regulation and down-regulation are shown by red and green colors, respectively.
