Schematic of expression pattern hierarchical clustering of 3 549 DEGs during transformation from NEC to EC. All DEGs were divided into three sets, DEGs in Set II showed differentially expressed uniquely in CCRI 12, DEGs in Set III showed differentially expressed uniquely in CCRI 24, DEGs in Set I showed differentially expressed in both cultivars. The log₂-transformed fold change (FC, represents the ratio of FPKM in a sample type to that in another sample type) values were used to construct the heat map
