Examples of gene expression patterns associated with cold tolerance. a The bHLH-transcription factor 136 gene (Zm00001d021019) showed gradually decreasing expression with increasing cold tolerance of genotypes, b the GRAS-transcription factor 82 gene (Zm00001d048682) showed gradually increasing expression in line with increasing cold tolerance of genotypes. c The Aux/IAA-transcription factor 14 (Zm00001d049141) was downregulated in the three most cold tolerant genotypes. Read counts in (A), (B) and (C) were normalized with plotCounts(). d Heat map of genes uniquely expressed in most tolerant one, two or three DH-lines (see Table S6). Values of each sample represent mean across four replicates/total mean across all samples. A gene with unknown function (Zm00001d031037) was significantly differently expressed between cold and control in DH-line PE0161. Read counts were adjusted by dividing the sample mean by the total mean across all samples. e Network graph of enriched (p < 0.01) GO terms in the set of differentially expressed genes by cold tolerance.
