Correlation of mRNA expression levels and protein abundances of differentially accumulated protein species. a Venn diagram analysis of the differentially accumulated protein species identified in this study and the differentially expressed unigenes identified in a previous comparative transcriptomic study of bermudagrass stem growth directions. b Heat map comparison of the log2 transformed protein and mRNA levels between the differentially accumulated protein species identified in this study and the corresponding differentially expressed unigenes identified in the transcriptomic study. c RT-qPCR analysis of mRNA expression levels of ten genes encoding proteins that differentially accumulated in shoots and stolons. Error bars represent SE. Asterisks indicate significant differences determined by Student’s t-tests (*, p < 0.05, **, p < 0.01)
