Changes in Soybean Global Gene Expression after Application of Lipo-Chitooligosaccharide from Bradyrhizobium japonicum under Sub-Optimal Temperature
Figure 9
Functional classification of altered gene expression in contrast 3.
Pie charts show functional classification according to GO implications of A) down-regulated genes; B) up-regulated genes. Nine percent of the down-regulated genes and 12% of the up-regulated genes in contrast 3 were related to stress response. Nine percent of the down-regulated genes and 11% of the up-regulated genes were related to signaling (signal transduction and transcription). This indicates that under sub-optimal growth temperature (15°C), the gene expression profile of soybean was dynamic over the period of 48 h; stress-related genes and signaling-related components were active during this time period.
