Transcriptome analysis of the WT and GMS mutant anthers. (a) Transcriptome sizes at three stages of the WT and GMS mutant anthers. (b), (c) Venn diagram showing the overlaps between anther stages of WT and GMS mutant (combined according to similarities in development). The number below each stage designation is the total transcripts detected in that stage(s). (d) Analysis of the progression of transcriptome changes during anther development of WT and GMS mutant anthers. The approximately 22,131 and 16,145 transcripts shared by three stages of WT and GMS mutant anthers are not shown, respectively. Numbers above the x-axis represent transcripts present in the indicated stage that are: stage specific (fufous); not present in the prior stage but shared with another stage (orange); or shared with the prior stage but missing in at least one other stage (yellow). Numbers below the x-axis represent transcripts present in the prior stage that are not detected in the current stage (from the category with green and blue color).
