Twenty-seven genes identified from the microarray data were validated with semiquantitative RT-PCR.
Individual P values obtained from the microarray data with the mixed linear model.
Ratio calculated using the mean of the adjusted signal intensity values.
Log value of the upper limit of the confidence interval.
Log value of the lower limit of the confidence interval.
The plus sign indicates data confirmed by semiquantitative RT-PCR (i.e., for which the microarray data and the RT-PCR indicate a change in the same direction when comparing mature unfertilized ovules and ovules 3 DAP); the minus sign indicates no significant difference detected by RT-PCR.
