From: In plants, expression breadth and expression level distinctly and non-linearly correlate with gene structure

Figure 1

Boxplots of structural characteristics versus expression level for Arabidopsis and rice genes. In each graph, x-axis represents gene-expression level, boxes represent the range of parameters for each gene group, with bold central lines represent the medians, lower and upper boundaries represent the first and third quartiles respectively, whereas whiskers extend to the most extreme points within 1.5 × interquartile range from the boxes. The red curves represent mean values of parameters for each expression group, whereas horizontal darkviolet lines indicate the population median for each structural parameter. Presented parameters are: CDS length in (a) Arabidopsis and (b) rice; total intron length per gene in (c) Arabidopsis and (d) rice; number of introns per gene in (e) Arabidopsis and (f) rice. Differences in structural parameters between different expression groups are statistically significant (all Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test P < 1e-50).
