Influence of dehydration on the gene expression in cat ovarian cortex. a Volcano plot showing differentially expressed genes (DEGs) meeting the conditions of |fold change| ≥ 2 and q-value < 0.05 for comparison pairs D10 vs. F (dehydration for 10 min and rehydration compared to fresh tissue), b D5 vs. F (dehydration for 5 min compared to fresh tissue) and (c) D10 vs. D5 (dehydration for 10 min compared to dehydration for 5 min). Yellow dots represent up-regulated genes, blue dots represent down-regulated genes, and grey dots represent the genes that were not differentially expressed. Heatmap of the one-way Hierarchical Clustering Analysis (Euclidean Method, Complete Linkage) using Z-score for normalized value (log2 based) for comparison pairs (d) D10 vs. F, (e) D5 vs. F and (f) D10 vs. D5. Bottom of heatmap is labeled with sample IDs representing condition (D10, D5, F) and animal (1 to 6)
