Figure 4. Expression patterns of probesets from key functional categories showing statistically significant changes. The expression signals for particular probesets corresponding to known Arabidopsis genes are plotted against the treatment of the seed before RNA extraction. The five points on each curve correspond to (1) untreated seed, (2) primed seed, (3) primed and dried seed, (4) primed seed after shelf-life induction, and (5) primed seed after shelf-life induction followed by drying. All probesets show statistically significant differences in expression. Further details and gene lists are available in the supplementary material. Error bars represent the deviation from the mean of two replicate hybridizations.
