From: Transposable elements, mRNA expression level and strand-specificity of small RNAs are associated with non-additive inheritance of gene expression in hybrid plants

Fig. 2

The expression level of genes with different inheritance in hybrids, and genes with TEs or sRNA. a mRNA inheritance in hybrids is related to mRNA abundance (expression level) in the parents. The letters a, b, c and d above each box indicate the mRNA level is significantly different between the genes in each group and all three other groups with different mRNA inheritance patterns based on a Wilcoxon rank-sum test. b mRNA inheritance for genes with different expression levels in parents. c Genes with small RNA but no TEs (TE- sRNA+) tend to be highly expressed genes (RPK > 1000). RPK = normalized mRNA read counts per kb. HP, high-parent; LP, low-parent; LPMP, between LP and MP; MP, mid-parent; sRNA: small RNA
