Comparative analysis of differential expression profiles of SN and LGR. A, B Total number of differentially expressed genes specific to a seed developmental stage and genes common to all five stages were identified for SN and LGR, respectively (up- and downregulated genes have been written in black and red color in the Venn diagrams, respectively). C Figure representing percent similarity observed between S1 and S5 stages of LGR with SN. Maximum percent similarity observed for each stage of LGR with SN has been marked with asterisks beside the bars. D Pathway annotation of DEGs with opposite regulation (upregulated in SN and downregulated in LGR and vice versa) in seeds of SN and LGR. DEGs showing opposite regulation in same seed developmental stages (SS; i.e., SN S1-LGR S1, SN S2-LGR S2) and comparable seed developmental stages (CS; i.e., SN S1-LGR S2, SN S2-LGR S3, SN S3-LGR S4, SN S4-LGR S5) of SN and LGR were identified and assigned pathways. Relative percentage of total number of DEGs falling in various pathways for the abovementioned SS and CS comparisons were plotted. Left and right panels represent pathways obtained for SS and CS comparisons for DEGs upregulated in LGR and downregulated in SN, and DEGs upregulated in SN and downregulated in LGR, respectively. Circle radius is proportional to relative percentage of DEGs present in the pathway, as indicated in the figure legend
