Hierarchical clustering of expression patterns. A. Hierarchical clustering of 1578 differentially expressed tissue profiles from the combined cDNA array. Relative expression levels (median centered and standardized values) are represented by a continuum with green signifying relative low expression of the ESTs, black indicating moderate expression (relative up-regulation) in the respective tissues, and red indicating high expression. The rows correspond to the quantified ESTs and columns to the respective E. grandis trees. LS: low splitting, HS: high splitting, H: high lignin, and L: low lignin, all collected from the lower-half of the stem. The transcripts have been divided into 10 expression pattern clusters as indicated by the numbers 1–10. B. Graphs of expression pattern clusters. Vertical axes in B represent standard deviation from the median expression level of each gene. The location of each cluster is indicated in A.
