Comparison of sugar transporter genes between sorghum genotypes. The expression dynamics of SWEETs, SUTs, and TSTs were compared between sorghum genotypes and shown in heatmap. The cell colors are shaded to reflect the magnitude of log2 fold change of gene expression relative to the anthesis stages in each genotype. The expression levels in RPKM are labeled on each cell with statistical differences (q values determined by edgeR) indicated by asterisk (*q < 0.05; **q < 0.01; ***q < 0.005). SbTST2 is highlighted in red, because upregulation of SbTST2 was observed during post-anthesis stages in sweet lines Rio, Della, and SIL05, and its expression level in Rio was higher than those in non-sweet BTx406/R9188 (p < 0.05, determined by two-way ANOVA followed by multiple comparison)
