DEGs involved in sucrose metabolism of C. moschata. a Heat map showing the expression level (RPKM) of different unigenes from sucrose metabolism, (b) Proposed sucrose metabolism pathway in C. moschata, extracted from literature [28,29,30,31,32]. Gene expression (Relative expression) shown as heat maps, and time points with dots above them represented the significantly (P < 0.05) differentially expressed between two germplasms (CMO-X and CMO-E). Pathway genes and their abbreviations are as follow; SUS (Unigene0033931): Sucrose synthase, SPS (Unigene0040240): Sucrose phosphate synthase, INV (Unigene0044132): Sucrose invertase, PGI (Unigene0012171): Phosphoglucose isomerase, UGPase (Unigene0000830): UDP glucose pyrophosphorylase, PGM (Unigene0037284): Phosphoglucomutase, HK (Unigene0028620): Hexokinase, FK (Unigene0052295): Fructokinase and AGPase (Unigene0039030): ADP glucose pyrophosphorylase
