Heatmap analysis of CDCP genes using microarray data obtained from TAIR 8. The microarray data of the selected gene expression for various abiotic stress conditions such as drought, osmotic, salt and oxidative stress were retrieved from TAIR (ver 8). The datasets obtained were corresponding to roots and shoots tissue at different time sets of stress namely 30 min, 1 h, 3 h, 6 h, 12 h and 24 h and analyzed with respect to the control. The empty rows in the heatmap show the unaltered behavior of the respective gene with respect to the control. The hierarchical clustering was performed and heatmaps were generated using gplots package of open source R software respectively. The scale shows the Z-score, which is defined as "actual value" minus the mean of the group divided by the standard deviation.
