Identification of continuously differentially expressed genes and metabolites. a Venn diagram of DEGs during the three periods of 02428. b Venn diagram of DEGs during the three periods of YZX. c Venn diagram for 02428 and YZX based on continuously DEGs. d Heat maps of 14 continuously DEGs. Gene expression was standardized by the z-score method, with the yellow color representing high expression and the black color representing low expression. e, f, g and h The analyses of the contents of the corresponding metabolites
