Representation of Mat Net. (A) MatNet, represented as interconnected nodes. Genes with high transcript levels at the end of embryogenesis are shown in yellow-green and form a central core; genes with high transcript levels in seed filling and maturation (dark green) or late maturation (blue) form the tail of the spiral. (B) Transcriptional regulators present in MatNet (red) and seed-specific transcripts (blue). (C) Nodes related to acquisition of longevity (top) and desiccation tolerance (bottom) are shown as black dots. (Reprinted from Righetti et al. [2015], Figures 2 and 3.)
