Great overlap of DE genes associated with WGP and TGP
We found 1028 DE genes associated with WGP, while 419 DE genes were associated with TGP in larvae (Figure 2e). From these, 56 % or 234 genes overlapped the two types of acclimation treatments (Figure 2e). This result initially suggests a similar effect of thermal plasticity within and across generations. However, the majority of the overlapping genes between WGP and TGP are located in the quadrant II of the scatterplot that represents the transcriptional landscape of thermal plasticity (Figure 4a). This means that most of these genes are up-regulated in TGP but down-regulated in WGP.
