RNA-seq based transcriptome dynamics of 'Anliu' sweet orange during fruit development and ripening. The log₂ of transcripts per million (TPM) for each gene was used for the hierarchical clustering analysis at each of the four selected developmental stages (120, 150, 190 and 220 DAF). The 18,829 genes were classified into 22 regulation patterns (groups 1-12, 14-18, and 20-24). The designation was based on the nomenclature of the gene expression pattern in MT (additional file 6). The gene expression patterns of groups 13 and 19 from MT were absent in WT while two additional patterns, designated as groups 23 and 24, were exclusively present in WT. DAF, days after flowering.
