Clusters of expression patterns for differentially expressed genes in the sweet cherry cultivar ‘Garnet’. Heatmap for ‘Garnet’ differentially expressed genes during bud development. Each column corresponds to the gene expression for flower buds from one single tree at a given date. Each row corresponds to the expression pattern across samples for one gene. Clusters of genes are ordered based on the chronology of the expression peak (from earliest – July, 1-dark green cluster – to latest – March, 9 and 10). Expression values were normalized and z-scores are represented here
