Microbial Symbionts in Insects Influence Down-Regulation of Defense Genes in Maize
Figure 1
Classification of 500 genes with the most significant differential expression.
500 genes with the most significant differential expression were categorized using a combination of gene annotation, gene ontology and scientific publication. 225 genes were related to plant defense and stress response, 126 genes were associated with metabolic processes, 30 were categorized as being involved with plant architecture and/or development, 44 genes were associated with DNA replication and 73 genes could not be classified as their functions are as of yet, unknown.
