Functional categorization of the Arabica differentially expressed genes (DEGs) during the six key developmental switches. DEGs were first compared against The Arabidopsis Information Resource database (TAIR, www.arabidopsis.org) using BLASTP with an e-value cut-off of 1 × 10−4. Functional categorization of Arabidopsis orthologs in all 6 developmental phase switches was performed using the Parametric Analysis of Gene set Enrichment (PAGE) tool in agriGO v2.0. The PAGE tool yielded significant gene ontology (GO) terms that were classified in 19 biological processes. Rows correspond to biological processes and columns to the developmental phase switches. Positive Z-score values are in green and negative values in red. A schematic representation of the dynamics of environmental drivers during the Arabica SE process is provided under the heatmap. The intensity levels of the environmental drivers are expressed as their relative intensity
