Additional file 2: of Comparative RNA-sequencing-based transcriptome profiling of buds from profusely flowering ‘Qinguan’ and weakly flowering ‘Nagafu no. 2’ apple varieties reveals novel insights into the regulatory mechanisms underlying floral induction

Table S4. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis of up-regulated genes, including the seven expression pattern types (a-, b-, c-, d-, e-, f-, and g-type) in ‘Qinguan’ buds relative to ‘Nagafu No. 2’ buds. The up-regulated genes were identified based on the Venn diagrams and cluster analysis in Fig. 5. Table S5. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis of down-regulated genes, including the seven expression pattern types (a-, b-, c-, d-, e-, f-, and g-type) in ‘Qinguan’ buds relative to ‘Nagafu No. 2’ buds. The down-regulated genes were identified based on the Venn diagrams and cluster analysis in Fig. 5. Table S6. Carbohydrate, fatty acid, and lipid pathways related to differentially expressed genes in ‘Qinguan’ and ‘Nagafu No. 2’ buds. The differentially expressed genes were detected based on the model in Fig. 7. Table S7. Hormone pathways related to differentially expressed genes in ‘Qinguan’ and ‘Nagafu No. 2’ buds. These hormone-related genes are mainly involved in hormone synthesis, signaling, and response pathways. The model and cluster analysis of these genes are presented in Figs. 8 and 9. Table S8. Detailed information of transcription factor family members in ‘Qinguan’ and ‘Nagafu No. 2’ buds. Table S9. Differentially expressed flowering-related genes in ‘Qinguan’ and ‘Nagafu No. 2’ buds. The flowering-related genes located on different chromosomes are presented in Fig. 11. (XLSX 153 kb)
