H3K9ac and H3K27me3 differentially marked genes between female and male flowers. a Venn diagram showing the relationship between H3K9 hyper-acetylated or H3K9 hypo-acetylated genes and up- or down-regulated genes in females flowers compared to male flowers (middle panel). Hyper-acetylated genes are predominantly up-regulated and hypo-acetylated genes are down-regulated, as highlighted in the pink and blue boxes respectively. Gene ontology analysis (GO) of the genes in the pink and blue boxes are shown in the left panel and the right panel respectively. Histograms of the values highlight the enrichment of genes compared to the reference. b Venn diagram showing the relationship of H3K27 hyper-methylated or H3K27 hypo-methylated genes and up- or down-regulated genes in females flowers compared to male flowers (middle panel). Hyper-methylated genes are predominantly down-regulated and hypo-acetylated genes are up-regulated, as highlighted in the purple and blue boxes respectively. Gene ontology analysis (GO) of the genes in the purple and blue boxes are shown in the left panel and the right panel respectively. Histograms of the values highlight the enrichment of genes compared to the reference genome (black bars). p values for each enriched class are presented in Additional file 9: Table VIII. c Percentage of transcription factors among the H3K9ac and H3K27me3 differentially regulated genes between male and female flowers. d Percentage of different known transcription factor families among the H3K9ac and H3K27me3 differentially regulated genes between male and female flowers
