TCPs and CRC synergistically regulate many important transcription factors and auxin-related genes. A) DEGs (fold change ≥ 2.0 or ≤ −2.0 and false discovery rate < 0.05) between the apical gynoecia from wild type, crc, tcpDUO, and tcpDUO crc. B) Overlapping DEGs for the WT vs tcpDUO, WT vs crc, and WT vs tcpDUO crc comparisons. C to E) GO analysis of the DEGs in the WT vs tcpDUO (C), WT vs crc (D), and WT vs tcpDUO crc comparisons (E). The terms stigma development, auxin biosynthetic process, auxin polar transport, and response to auxin and transcription factor activity were significantly enriched in WT vs tcpDUO crc. F, H) Heatmap analysis of DEGs encoding transcription factors related to flower development. G) Heatmap analysis of genes related to auxin biosynthesis, transport and signaling.
