Figure 2

Circos plot depicting the distribution of DEGs on 10 chromosomes of maize. In this figure, all the maize chromosomes are displayed in the first outer ring. 2–9 numbers represents expression (log2 FC) of DEGs in various comparisons, viz., 56_RN+ vs 56_RN−, 56_RN− vs 81_RN−, 56_RN+ vs 81_RN+ , 56_SN+ vs 56_SN−, 56_SN− vs 81_SN−, 56_SN+ vs 81_SN+, 81_RN+ vs 81_RN− and 81_SN+ vs 81_SN− respectively. Letter S, R, N+, and N− represents leaf, root, sufficient nitrogen, and nitrogen-deficiency conditions, respectively. 81 and 56 correspond to DMI 81 (N stress-susceptible genotype) and DMI 56 (N-stress tolerant genotype), respectively.
