Fig. 3
Cumulative and Isoform specific expression of gene families associated with the cellulose synthase (CesA) and cellulose synthase-like (CSL) gene families. Gene families: Cellulose Synthase (CesA) in Figure a, and Cellulose Synthase-Like (CSL) in Figures b to h. Abbreviations, TI: Top Internode; MI: Middle Internode; BI: Bottom Internode; 1st Visible Dewlap Leaf: L1; 5th Visible Dewlap Leaf: L5; R: Root. The bar chart displays the cumulative expression of all genes within a gene family. Letters above each bar indicate the presence of a significant difference between values within the same genotype. Error bars +/− 1 S.D. from biological triplicates. The heat map plots the Log2 TPM values for each individual gene family member. Green displays higher expression values, yellow for mid-range values and red for lower range expression values. Letters within the heatmap indicate the presence of a significant difference between values within an individual gene, within the same genotype. Significance was calculated via one way ANOVA, with the post-hoc Tukey’s T-test to separate statistically dissimilar groups. Statistical analysis was measured separately within each genotype
