Separation of samples by dormancy stage using differentially expressed genes . The principal component analysis was conducted on the TPM (transcripts per millions reads) values for the differentially expressed genes in the cultivar ‘Garnet’ flower buds, sampled on three trees between July and March. Samples in organogenesis are red points, samples in paradormancy are yellow points, samples in endodormancy are dark blue points, samples at dormancy release are light blue points and samples in ecodormancy are green points. Each point corresponds to one sampling time in a single tree
