Different temporal regulation clusters are enriched with genes of distinct functional GO categories. The 11,458 regulated genes were divided into 20 clusters, Cluster I to XX (Additional file 3) (Additional file 4). Then the 20 clusters were divided into six groups referred to as group 1 to 6 (Additional file 4). One representative cluster from each of the six groups was shown here as Cluster I to VI, respectively. (A) Heat map (green to red: low to high levels of expression) showing the expression of the individual genes in Cluster I-VI. (B) Expression of the genes at different stages of development. Solid lines are drawn joining the average value of gene expression at each stage in the cluster. The dots reflect actual expression values. Some significantly enriched biological processes/categories for each cluster are shown in the grey box on the right.
