Leaf gene expression of F1 hybrids and the parental photosynthetic types in Alloteropsis semialata. (a) Principal component analysis on 7482 genes. (b) Transcript abundance in reads per million mapped reads (RPM) of selected genes encoding core C4 enzymes: aspartate aminotransferase (ASP‐AT, gene aspat‐3P4), NADP‐dependent malic enzyme (NADP‐ME, gene nadpme‐1P4), phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PCK, gene pck1P1_LGT), pyruvate phosphate dikinase (PPDK, gene ppdk‐1P2). (c) Transcript abundance of selected phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) genes [Color figure can be viewed at wileyonlinelibrary.com]
