Table_1_Transcriptomic Variations and Network Hubs Controlling Seed Size and Weight During Maize Seed Development.docx

To elucidate the mechanisms underlying seed development in maize, comprehensive RNA-seq analyses were conducted on Zhengdan1002 (ZD1002), Zhengdan958 (ZD958), and their parental lines during seven seed developmental stages. We found that gene expression levels were largely nonadditive in hybrids and that cis-only or trans × cis pattern played a large role in hybrid gene regulation during seed developmental stage. Weighted gene co-expression network (WGCNA) analysis showed that 36 modules were highly correlated (r = −0.90–0.92, p

为阐明玉米种子发育机制，对郑丹1002（ZD1002）、郑丹958（ZD958）及其亲本系在七个种子发育阶段进行了全面的RNA测序分析。研究发现，杂交种中的基因表达水平主要呈非加性，且顺式或反式×顺式模式在种子发育阶段杂交基因调控中发挥着重要作用。加权基因共表达网络分析揭示了36个模块高度相关（相关系数r为-0.90至0.92，p值未提供）。
