Expression Analysis of VcWOX Genes During Adventitious Root Development in Blueberry

The expression analysis of VcWOX genes during adventitious root development in blueberry is presented. (A) Four stages of blueberry adventitious root development are shown in photographs: the pre-induction stage, lignification formation stage, healing tissue formation stage, and AR emergence stage. The scale bar indicates 1 cm. (B) The expression analysis of VcWOX genes during adventitious root development is depicted in a heatmap. The color bar next to the heatmap represents the gene expression levels, with blue indicating low transcript abundance and red indicating high transcript abundance. (C) The expression patterns of VcWOX genes during adventitious root development are shown. Total RNA was extracted from the basal stem portion (approximately 1 cm) of 'Northland' (Vaccinium corymbosum) at the four aforementioned developmental stages. The data was normalized to VcACTIN, with the expression level at 0-day stage set as 1. The error bars represent the standard error (SE) of three biological and technical replicates, and different letters indicate significant differences (P < 0.05).
