Impact of maternal embryonic heat stress on the maternally derived egg mRNAs from the type B conspecific cross. a Frequency of values of log10(CV2BBH/CV2BBC) of gene models in the eggs from heat-treated and control mothers. b, c Distribution of expression of genes showing a more than five-fold increase (shown in red) (b) or decrease (shown in blue) (c) in CV2 between eggs from heat-treated and control mothers. X-axis shows average expression level (TPM) in eggs from control (C) mother, and y-axis average expression level (TPM) from heat-shocked (H) mother in each batch. BBC (n = 14 eggs); BBH (n = 16 eggs). Note that genes showing a five-fold increase or (particularly) decrease of CV2 were spread out, and not limited to genes with low expression values
