DEGs in kernels at the 5DAP stage involved in plant hormone signaling pathways. a DEGs involved in the auxin signaling pathway. b DEGs involved in the ethylene signaling pathway. c DEGs involved in the BR signaling pathway. d DEGs involved in the cytokine signaling pathway. All the plants were grown and treated as described in Fig. 4. The kernel on the upper ear from drought stress and control plants was collected for RNA sequencing. The absolute values of log2 (drought/control) ≥1 and FDR < 0.001 were used as the criteria for DEGs. The color of the box represents up (red) and down (green)-regulated genes (drought/normal), and the value in the box is the log2 (drought/control) of the genes in the kernel at the 5DAP stage. Schematic of the pathways modified according to the KEGG
