Characterization of DEGs between Bc2X and Bc4X. A Visual phenotypes of 21-day-old Bc2X (left) and Bc4X (right) seedlings. B Comparison of leaf length, width, and the leaf shape index between 21-day-old Bc2X and Bc4X seedlings. Statistical analysis was performed with two-tailed Student’s t tests; P values: “**” < 0.01, “***” < 0.001. “cm” = centimeter. C Pie chart showing the proportions of upregulated genes (blue) and downregulated genes (red) relative to total genes between Bc2X and Bc4X (fold change >  = 2.00 and adjusted p value <  = 0.01). D Volcano plot showing the distribution of fold changes and p values for the upregulated genes (right) and downregulated genes (left). E KEGG pathway enrichment analysis of DEGs between Bc2X and Bc4X. F GO analysis of DEGs between Bc2X and Bc4X
