From: Transcriptome analysis reveals insight into molecular hydrogen-induced cadmium tolerance in alfalfa: the prominent role of sulfur and (homo)glutathione metabolism

Fig. 3

Transcriptional changes in genes identified by RNA-Seq and RT-qPCR involved in sulfur and glutathione metabolism in alfalfa seedling roots. Arrows represent enzymatic reactions. Coloured bars near the arrows indicate the relative expression of the corresponding homologous genes in different treatments. Transcripts detected by RT-qPCR are presented relative to the control samples (Con → Con), with the expression being normalized to two internal reference genes in each sample.
